    I'm doubting Q1 will be easy this year again, maybe a gfc equation . . .

    What theorems should we learn / forget?

    I think that the perp. distance formula is due a twirl, maybe also proving one of the trig functions for compound angles (like Sin (A+B)). Possible, they might ask that circle theorem in Q1 (equation of a tangent to a circle at a point). Well, possibly, they could ask anything, I suppose...;)

    I'm not sure though...does the lack of proofs on paper one mean that paper two will be full of them, or have is it a general trend this year?

    I think it's irrelevant really, I mean a few thought that there would be NO proof's this year!

    No harm in learning the what, 6 off I suppose? I mean, you'd have to do more for other subjects in terms of learn-off. My problem is in the rapid revision book - Q4/5 has the potential to be a right bitch with the 100's of possible proof's!

    Yeah, although I don't mind trigonometric ones as much, because you can't really learn them, just work through them on the day.

    I dislike the perpendicular distance one. Just because it's so long, and easy to get lost halfway through. But, meh. You're right, 6 proofs isn't a big ask.
