Yeh potentially, don’t forget log equations and modulus function. Also I’m preparing for a ****ed stats section. Currently revising all the year 1 stats as yr 2 stats is easier imo.

yeah feel like logs could be a Q1 maybe a disguised quadratic w logs, still don’t understand normal distribution but will get that sorted 😭

Nobodies got any sort of clue until after paper 2 mate. I reckon they made paper 1 easy on purpose and everything balances out on paper 2 and 3. They put all the ez topics in paper 1 anyways so I still think it’ll be similar too last yr 58% for an A
