Maths paper 2 igcse

Basically my maths paper 2 exam is tomorrow and I wanted to ask if simultaneous, vectors or indices will come up on the exam? If yes/no, then what more other topics will be on it?

what, trig? it makes a lotta sense to me (unlike the rest of the coursework haha) cause it's just formulae! and u get most of them in the exam... just remember, if it's got a right angle, use pythagoras' theorem or SOH CAH TOA, and if it's not, use the cosine or sine rule!

Like for quadratic? I just learned about sine cos tan in trigonometry. So is it okay if I can just use those for the quadratic?

Ig u could say that its the cosine and sine rule or maybe TOH CAH SOH

well they're all for solving diff stuff, like, you can't pick and choose, for some problems u will need cosine, others u will need pythagoras
but in the exam u get sine and cosine formulas, so long as u know how to rearrange them and u know a^2=b^2+c^2 and sohcahtoa ur good for trig at least ^^
