I'm not. I've already done it. But I can help you if you'd like.

do you have any revision notes or examples on the new arithmetic series questions.
I've already done about 60 past papers for math.
my only weakness are the arithmetic series and simplifying quadratic expressions.

any help would be appreciated.

I didn't make any notes for maths. However I used the CGP revision guide for maths. I could send you a picture of the page for arithmetic series if you'd like. For questions, I only have arithmetic sequence questions, not series. However the page in CGP also has arithmetic series questions I think.

I'm doing Edexcel IGCSEs too, first paper on Tuesday, then on Wednesday 15th
I've done maybe four papers, not in any sort of timed conditions
I also went down a checklist of topics and did 2/3 of the harder questions on each one before starting any papers
Hope this helps! How many have you done?

Hi, I'm not doing the Jan exam but am doing the summer one and took the lower paper last year. When I was revising I found it helpful to just keep doing past papers until you are sick of them as they really get you into the format of the exam.

So am I. I'm thinking if I can really get all 8s and 9s or not... Currently I'm not doing well in the mocks and I have only 3 days left😢
