AQA Level 2 Further Maths 2024 Paper 1 (8365/1) - 11th June [Exam Chat]

My school gave us these websites to use which both have questions and answers on each topic

If you use the identity matrix and separate it into two vectors and use these as co ordinates (1,0) and (0,1) then you can apply the transformation to these co ordinates then convert them back into c ordinates and then input them into the matrix

Does anyone have a nice way of remembering maxtrix transformations? e.g the 90deg. rotation etc

Hi, what's the best way to revise for GCSE further maths exam. Just the past papers or any recommended website for topic wise questions . Pls advise

My calculator is a CASIO fx-991CW. One of my friends told me this wasn't allowed in the further maths exam, for some reason (possibly something to do with its capabilities for matrix calculations - I can't quite remember). I have searched through JCQ and AQA documents and can't find anything about this, although Casio themself claim the calculator is "allowed in every UK exam where a calculator can be used". I was wondering if anyone had any more information on this, just to put my mind at ease?

Does anyone have any tips for trig identities. I am fine with everything but them. I understand them when get to the mark scheme but i can't figure out how to do it during the paper
