Along with the other suggestion, have you tried the advanced extension award papers?

I did like some questions from 1 AEA paper, with a scientific calculator though. They're quite good practice, but many of the things are way off the specification of C1-C4, so not that worth it.

Fair enough, my teacher gave them to some of the people in my class for extra revision so I assumed they'd be useful :h:

I didnt try any myself bc I still have solomons to do. Its a good thing about a level maths that there's so much opportunity to practise.

Hi. How are the solomon papers for C3 and C4 btw? I'm almost done with the individual papers so leaving the IAL Papers(C34) as mocks actually.

Do the Madas papers, 1.6+ difficulty. They're quite good. Solomon papers are good aswell.

I've left the recent IAL C34 papers for mocks aswell. :smile:

That's nice! High 5! :biggrin:

So are madas papers demotivating or creepy by any chance? :tongue:

You should struggle with them at first, the 1.6-2.0 difficulty papers, tend to have harder algebra and some questions are quite nice. They're made as per Edexcel pattern.

2.0+ are quite hard though.

Ah, okay!

Thanks for your recommendation! Will give it a shot! :smile:

Anyone know how to do 8b or if you could explain how the markscheme gets to the answer it would be helpful

Says attachment invalid, what's the question? Are you having difficulty formulating the right integral? Since from there it's just normal stuff.

Is there a difference in spec for the UK C3, C4 and IAL C34?

None - just a 2 hr 30 min exam vs two individual papers

I just don't understand what's happened on step 2 of 8b

They've added 0 effectively to the numerator.

\frac{(x+1)-1}{(x+1)} = \frac{x+1}{x+1} - \frac{1}{(x+1)} = 1-\frac{1}{x+1}

Thanks for that I would have never realised that if it came up in the actual exam

You could just use algebraic long division or Identities. Remember that's the method you have to use when the denominator and numerator have the same degree.
