AQA A Level Maths Discussion Thread - 2018 Edition
Hey guys, I thought I'd make this niiiiiice and early so we can all share how we're preparing for our Maths exams this year?
Mechanics 3
Date: Wednesday 6th June 2018
Time: Morning
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Days to go?: 31
Probably the most important way to prepare for maths is to do plenty of past papers! You can find the more recent papers here and the older ones here.
Also, Physics & Maths Tutor has some good resources for revision - everything from revision notes to questions on specific topics. You can find the Mechanics 3 materials here.
Good luck with the preparations everyone, let the countdown commence!
