dont revise an hour out of the exam.. maybe do a couple warmup questions at most. But my main advice would just be go as fast as possible, even if it feels like you have spare time!!! (because you probably dont)
But which topic was the most frequent on the maths 1?

from my test i think they try to equally include as many diff topics as possible, so no topic is more frequent

Yep
I'm a bit concerned about the "erasable booklet" I've heard that they give you to write your workings. Is it easy enough to use?

I’m scared they’ll give me a terrible pen or something god forbid it’s like those dry scratchy markers

Right yeah that's what I was worried about. I'm going to make sure they let me see the booklet before I start, and maybe ask for two pens or something.

Also it's a bit weird everyone is taking the test at different times, even within the UK. Like the people doing it tomorrow will be doing the same test as I'm doing in a couple of hours. But I guess they've obviously decided the risk of people cheating is low enough. I mean I don't think anyone would really want to share their answers, even if they could remember them.
The questions are randomly generated so no one gets the same questions
