    Nobody can tell you what's coming up on the exam. If ye knew, where would be the fun in that? The predictability factor has gone out the window, it's nigh on impossible to guess. Don't be guessing anyway, if you know the syllabus enough, you should be able to take a good stab at all the questions.

    Russian roulette. Study anything and everything humanly possible - there's no telling what paper certain exam questions will be on (categorising sections to an individual paper is no longer a thing).

    Calculus is open field this year, expect a lot of 'integration' (not the mathematical kind) of calculus throughout the paper(s).

    How are you guys approaching the theorems?

    We use the Active Maths textbook and at the back of book two there are about seven theorems listed with formal proofs. I vaguely remember some of them from JC but that's it. Our teacher said we can get away without them due to the optional part of question six but I want to be assured.

    We were told we only had to formally prove 11-13? But be able to apply the rest of them, obviously.

    Also, how did we all find our mocks? We had the DEB one which was horrendous. Passed it, but the average mark was 37% ish.
