I've moved this thread to this forum and retagged it to Edexcel as I can't find a current active thread for this module. If there is one, I'll let you know

Its actually okay, but sometimes I forget the basics like completing the square when I haven't done a past paper in a while.

C2 is more fun though

I find Edexcel's papers rather easy compared to other exam boards like AQA (I despise them) -.-

The hard bit for me are those long worded questions. I usually just skim read.

I did C1 last year, my best tip is to be confident with fractions, they are much easier to work with than decimals

(remember you don't have a calculator!)

Edexcel is definitely the easiest :lol:

This sounds really obvious but underline key words etc? I still do in my biology papers

I really cba to do that for the core modules -.- I usually only underline words in M1 and S2.

Are you doing AQA Biology? If so how which ISA did you do?

So much easier, especially for C2: I barely use a calculator

Yeah I do AQA but we do the EMPA, not the ISAs

feeling quite nervous about the EMPA though

I've done EMPA last year. They're horrible. I changed sixth form so I've done the ISA for this yr, and they're more easier than the EMPA. What do you think you've got?

Hope revision is going well for everyone

Does anyone know if they can ask you to define any terms? Will the C1 exam be very different this year?
