I highly recommend the CGP (C1,C2,S1,M1,D1) revision guide:

I also recommend doing all of the exam papers, and visiting examsolutions.net

Good Luck! :smile:

Get good at it and do C2... then surely your skill level will be better and you'll hopefully realise this is a silly question.
For example I have learnt C1,2 and have a good skill/knowledge/understanding level so will not really need to revise C1 to get full UMS...
Remember to do past papers and understand everything.
Remember to check for silly errors/ mistakes (in the past papers and real thing)
Some people get caught out in coordinate geometry when the question gives a right angle and asks for a line length or area for example. Remember perpendicular---> pythag or 0.5b*h for these Q's
