I am worried as well, the thing is. there are not past papers for the edexcel linear paper (bar one) and I can't really practice.. should I be doing exam papers from other boards or would that just confuse me?

You must be on the same spec as me I am guessing try using the ones on this link, they are all the equivalent to the same exam.

I'd recommend you stick to papers from your examiners, although they all cover the same mathematics each has their own particular ways of asking questions and favourite hot topics. If you are aiming for A/A* then do older higher tier papers and you'll be OK.

In addition, if ur doing edexcel C.F nearly comes up in every exam and histograms. So look at the q's sometimes they reappear in different formats becase the examiners are lazy people they just change the numbers around

Teachers hardly receive a large pay packet for half the rubbish they have to deal with, many of them could of went and got better paying jobs in the profession they teach in. Many teach because they want to.

Sigh..

I was clearly being satirical.

ONE THING! DO MATH EVERY SINGLE DAY OF YOUR LIFE UNTIL YOUR EXAM . I MEAN IT, EVEN DURING THE WEEKENDS.
Guaranteed A*. (Unless you are really stupid) which I don't think you are since you got average stuff during your mocks.
Oya also what board are you doing?DO every other past paper from the same level. Like for gcse do all gcse boards AND Igcse's.
Good luck.
