Well given the AS Paper was really easy that tends to mean we get the hard stuff. Can't predict Edexcel though. If it's like Core Pure then it will get harder towards the last question.

Not great, but not awful.

Can’t say I’m the biggest fan of FM1, but I’m slowly getting the hang of oblique impact (which imo is probably the hardest topic and probably going to make up like 3 whole questions).

I am not a fan of the elastic strings and springs.

Use the solve function on the classwiz calculator to solve equations as well as the sim equations for pclm and NLR Q'S.

Don’t get too optimistic… what’s the bet they’ll make us do more of those damn vector oblique impact questions?

I’d say it wasn’t an awful paper. I reckon I’ve got most of the marks, but I didn’t manage to get the answers to some of the larger questions.

Also wtf was that question about considering the angle APQ + angle AQP or whatever it was. I found an expression for the angle in terms of α and γ, but I wasn’t sure how to use it.
