While everyone goes on a rant about paper one, lets try and collectively work out the likely topics for paper 2. Geometric progressions, differential equations, small angle approximations, volumes of revolution... please add more.

proof by contradiction, binomial, parametric equations, and modulus functions maybe

There’s no volumes of revolution in A Level maths Edexcel only Further maths

Isn’t volumes of revolution fm only?

ah sorry, might be. My mistake.

Parametric integration (substitution already came up, and depending on how you answered q13 with the one = 2/25 you could have done parts)

Proof by contradiction, small angle approximations, differentiation by first principles, binominal expansion
Functions - inverses, domain, ranges

Trig modelling!!!! they love modelling , so part a (harmonic form) and part b max , mins etc part c limitation or something

BIGGEST ONE IS DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION, there was 3 differential questions on 2024 papers, expect some big marks, practice these from mixed exercises (blue book), and past papers, seperate them, +c, sub in values etc
WIth the differential equations, there can be a part a to solve a partial fraction that would feed into part b so know how to do it

Arithmetic came up so geometric can come up

Implicit differentiation

And last but not least mods, solving the equations as well finding coordinates points, and drawing them

I ran out of papers do I do topic questions from madas maths or the textbook I’m aiming for an A* btw.

I would go with the EP questions from the book and use MadAsMaths as a last resort. There are some great questions for MadAsMaths, but they are outdated as it hasn’t been updated for a while now. :smile:

Which book and what's EP?

I think at this point doing full papers is probably not the best idea. Just targeting the topics which haven’t been assessed might be better. But timed practise is always good to do right before the exam I just need to find a 2 hour long paper with all these topics that haven’t been assessed. If I can’t find it then I might just combine questions and make a mock paper myself at this point lol.

Volumes of revolution??? Aint that fm?

It is, but I assume they got confused by parametric integration, so said volumes of revolution

okay yupyup. yeah i dont even remember if there was parametric integration on p1 so,,, just gonna memorise the formula ig (y (dx/dt) dt)
