Well youve had 3 months, so not a lot will change in 2 days.

Same as with all exams try your best, use your time well and do some past papers.
Use every minute.

Hopefully you have some revision notes and know those well.

Have the doubts after the exam, but for now believe you can do it. GL.
Wake up in the morning and do a past paper , there's nothing you can really do at this point except from relaxing your mind and motivating yourself to do well - i think this is the most important thing. Got a grade 9 , however did many silly mistakes in my first paper due to not believing in myself.

I did revise for 3 months and I’ve used maths genie aswell to make notes. It’s just that I’m scared that I will forget everything

Just do a few past papers under exam conditions and scan your notes. It will come back in the exam.
Is anyone resitting these exams and what grade are you hoping to get?

This is for edexcel but anyone who is resitting maths can join in the discussion too.

Wow was it hard?
I thought it was considerably harder than the specimen and past papers. It might just be because the pressure gets to me but I felt as though I didn't do as well as I had in the past... Which is frustrating because I worked so hard and scored 8's in all the practice papers. Aiming for a 7 overall.
