Further decision maths resources HELPP

Sorry in advance for the lengthy post lol

So I'm in year 12 doing my further maths mock exam next week, and then my AS level later in May . Exam board - Edexcel.
The modules my school chose are Stats and Decision.

I normally use physicsandmathstutor for my pretty much all my resources/ practice questions, but it doesnt have anything for edexcel Further Decision maths, only core, stats, and mechanics.

Ive seen they have full decision past papers but im desperate for some individual topic questions so i can focus my efforts. I need actual exam questions, not like the ones in the textbook.
Just wondering where other year 12s/13s who are doing the same thing are getting their resources from for Further decision maths? any websites, etc?

Side note - anyone who sat their AS further maths exam last year, how hard was it? any weird things i should be aware of? tips and tricks? what did you do to prepare?

Thank you SO much in advance, i would appreciate a reply even if u have the tiniest bit of advice. lots of loveee

Hey, the AS Decision questions are weirdly hidden on the PMT website. I've attached a link to them below but essentially you find them under the International A Levels Page section and if you click on Decision 1 that should take you to a page where you can find questions by topic

Decision 1 - https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/a-level-maths-papers/D1-by-topic/

For Edexcel, it includes:

Algorithms - General, Bin Packing, Sorts

Critical Path Analysis

Dijikstra's

Kruskals & Prims

Route Inspection

Linear Programming


(We don't need to know Matchings or Binary Search as part of the UK Spec). Hope this helps!
