:wavey: I sat this last year and got an A. For revision I would watch a video (bareaumaths or captaingoodspeedmaths) and then do practice questions on it (look for ones on madasmaths or DrFrost). Do that for any topics youre still stuck on. Also if you haven’t already done past papers they are essential so try do one this evening and tomorrow if its an afternoon exam. Best of luck!

fairly confident but the spec is so ambiguous and there's practically 0 resources 😭 i really don't know why I'm doing this, but i hope it counts for something.

Also do you or anyone remember what the k=0.87 question was about?

for people that got their results today, did you receive the grade AND the mark or just the grade? I only got the grade so wondering if that was a mistake with my school?

I got the grade, mark and the boundaries. For those who don't know, A is 67%+, B is 60%+, C is 53%+, D is 47%+, and E is 41%+. I got 90% but I still think that the A boundary seems a bit lower than past iterations of the paper.
