Any Predictions on any topic that should appear?

Expect wordy questions so read them a few times carefully underlining key words because of what happened last year with Hannah and her sweets.

Big topics to revise:

1. Vectors
2. Trigonometry - Sine and cosine rule, trigonometric functions (sin, cos tan)
3, Pythag if you don't already know it!
4. Probability
5. Box plots
6. Histograms
7. 25% of your paper is algebra... know your basics at least!
8. Graph transformations

why would you need to revise trig including sine and cosine since it's a non calc paper? :/

Good point... lol... however they could throw in an algebra question using the sine and cosine rule.

Do you think we need to revise sin, cos and tan graphs?

Absolutely anything to be honest. I think it's better to make a list of things that won't appear:

Pythagoras and Trig (both 2D and 3D).
Sine and Cosine Rule
Volumes of circular-based shapes (cones, spheres etc.) where it doesn't ask for the answer in terms of Pi.
Bounds.. I guess.

Other than that, anything on the syllabus could appear on the non-calc paper.
