Edexcel GCSE Mathematics Paper 1 (Non-Calculator) Higher 1MA1 1H - 20 May 2022 [Chat]

i go to a grammar school too and do edexcel...?

I am mature student and I sat AQA Gcse paper 1 last week .It was much easier then previous years and we had exact trigonometry values ( three values multiple together) for 3 points.You might not be aware yet because you are all young people just entering the big world and I have to tell you that all grammar and privet schools students do AQA Maths rather then Edexcel because so many people believe AQA is easier then Edexcel.So as you can see poor have to work harder then the rich folks from earlier age.But you can do it .Do practice rather then just watch videos.Keep trying answering maths questions.I am using Mr Barton maths takeaway.He has questions with model answers for every topic.And don’t forget that even if you didn’t do as well as you wished, it is not the end of the world .Life goes on Good luck for paper 2 and 3

Speaking of exact trig values, can some be written in different ways?

I cant be the only one who found it hard. I am confident that i will get method marks because i knew what i was doing but the type of questions we got asked were not like the questions i did in hundreds of past papers. like the 2 questions where you have to rearrange it into the quadratic formulae caught me off guard. i managed to do it and came to an answer that seemed okay. I'm normally quite good at maths and im aiming to get a grade 9 but yeah, it was weird for me.

Everyone found it hard.
My friend who naturally gets grade 9s (does zero revision) says he didn't even want to talk about it afterwards.
My teacher also said that Edexcel like to put one very very hard question on 1 paper each year - if she's right then the final question on the paper 1 was that question.
Don't worry! You'll do fine, do you need to get the grade 9?
