    So I did maths paper one today and it didn't go as well as I'd hoped. I want an A in the Jc, I got 90% in my mocks and I really dont want to dissimprove! So I'm gonna work really hard on paper two this weekend. Anyone have a checklist on things I must study for paper two? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated also, thanks.

    According to the educate.ie exam papers the topics on paper 2 are:
    Perimeter/Area/Volume
    Counting
    Probability
    Statistics
    Axioms
    Theorems and Corollaries
    Constructions
    Transformation Geometry
    Co-ordinate Geometry
    Trigonometry

    Know your theorems and constructions really well because I'd say they will come up after they didn't come up last year.

    Also, most people think they did way worse than they actually did when they come out of the exam. If you're getting 90% in the mocks you are clearly well able to do the papers. Stay positive! :)

    But remember there are no set topics that can come up on each paper for project maths you have the strands which should act as a guide but they can still pull anything from anywhere and you don't really have any past years to confirm paper topics.

    Angle of elevation might come up- it really is hard to know what will come up though! Hate being the first year to do this exam...:(
