How would you recommend getting full marks/or even partial cs im currently getting 0 on the last 2-4 questions of the paper, especially non-cal p1 (I do edexcel H) and got an 8 in my mocks but really want a 9

That’s an achievement! But it’s mainly about strategy. As for marks, look into what formulas you need, write it down as you’d show the examiner what you’re referring to. That’ll earn you a method mark. Then some questions give away the answers, you’ll need to work out other factors in order to get the right sum it’s asking. Then your final mark or so would usually be getting to the answer. They want to see logic and the correct application. Feel free to message me.
