Hey did anyone else struggle with Edexcel higher today? i really struggled and it seemed foundation got standard higher questions and we got too hard questions if that makes sence?
Edexcel are being so cruel this year. I fear for my grade when this is all over

I’m not sure how this exam was but I do remember sitting AQA combined higher tier chemistry paper 1 and it felt more like a foundation tier paper than a higher tier one.

Then I looked the foundation paper years ago and thought, this paper looks harder than the higher tier one in my opinion.

Then that’s why you cannot see the poll, you need to be on the website to see it.

Thank you for that recommendation, never heard of it before and the Past Series Appearance column is invaluable, just wish I'd heard of it earlier than 2 days before the exam lmao. But it pretty much confirms for me that there's no point in revising circle theorem proof since it's the lowest topic by far at 8%, followed by exact trig values at 18% (most of which I don't know and also hate for the same reasons).

Bit late I'm aware so not rlly applicable here, regardless if your struggling with trigonometry exact values theirs a relatively simple table you can memorise in order to not have to learn them. Fully aware this seems counter productive but trust me it's incomparibley easier. Google trig exact values table and you should find it.
