Edexcel AS 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 1
Date: Wednesday 6th June 2018
Time: Morning
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Days to go?: 91

Probably the most important way to prepare for maths is to do plenty of past papers! You can find all Edexcel Maths past papers [url="http://qualifications.pearson.com/en/support/support-topics/exams/past-papers.html?Qualification-Family=A-Level&Qualification-Subject=Mathematics%20(2008)&Status=Pearson-UK:Status%2FLive&Specification-Code=Pearson-UK[excludedFace]s-smilie[/excludedFace]pecification-Code%2F9371"]here.

Also, Physics & Maths Tutor has some good resources for revision - everything from revision notes to questions on specific topics. Materials for M1 can be found here.

Good luck with the preparations everyone, let the countdown commence!

I feel a difficult pulley system will come up as well as a force vectors question. I feel the paper will be tricky

Then hopefully the grade boundaries should be as little low since they’re crazy high

You class g as negative when an object is moving up.
You class g is positive when am object is moving down.
You use this if the object is moving under gravity (the question will state so)

Is everyone doing Mechanics 1 tomorrow resitting it?

Coz I am and it's the last time(I think) this spec is happening, therefore they're gonna end it solidddd.
Well, that's kinda what happened with C1 a few weeks ago anyway.
