donttt worry you will do amazingggg just know the basics and stuff like averages frequency shapes etc.remember the formulas cos the formula sheet is useless.There is likely to be something or shapes and maybe measures like density mass you should know this from science so uuu will be fine.Its better to start with the grade 5 question and work your way through personally I just worked slow cos my teacher moved me down to foundation and foundation was quite straight forward to me- my average was a grade 6 and she told me if I could get a 5/6 in higher I defo can in foundation.Id work slowly and go through every question cos when ur in a rush and stressed you're more likely to get it wrong and guess what you will still get marks for going in the right direction when working out!Good luck todayyy!
