-Edexcel AS Further maths paper 1 core 2024

Who excited for this exam? I personally think that they will create an abomination for these but I have hope that they won't and maybe be kind to us XD.

Good luck all, you will smash it!!

It was really good, one of the easiest papers I've done acc. Only annoying part was inversing a 3 by3 matrix with coefficients for one 1 mark.

I thought that you just wrote it down as a self-inverse since it was 1 mark XD

It was definitely a nicer further maths paper than the usual, it was a cake walk compared to harder papers like FM 2019 and FM 2022

yeah I thought that it was a weird thing that a calculator could do but then realised, oh this is 1 mark so I will just write down the matrix hoping that it was a self inverse

No I do not think that it was plus they may have had some sort of error in finding the determinant or just forgot sort of what their answer was XD
