My teacher says that the topics tested come every 2 years. So whatever was on 2023 and 2024 probs won't come up. Doing papers before that like 2022 or 2021 they have more probable topics that can come up.

SHM & circular motion will come up imo. Was only in multiple choice questions last year.

I beg they make the papers easier again like before 2023

I believe that because the paper last year was too hard (the grade boundaries were pulled down so badly for paper 1), they will be more merciful this time.
