I’m doing this 9 hours before the exam.. I live in a tier 1 area and we are sitting A LEVELS wish me LUCK

Do you have copies of the Edexcel A Level Maths 2020 series

[tzpzevu]

Are you going to posting up the 2019 AS papers?

[nearchosnearchou]

Will you release walkthroughs for the mock papers of 2020?

[lukebashian]

Can’t wait to start the A-level content next year

q6 im sure in the uk we done include 0 and 180 only for the value we are asked to. like for cos we just add 360 and same for the negative. sin we add 360 and then do 180 - and etc ...

[umniaal-hassan]

Could you please do walkthroughs for AS pure and applied papers?

[afgunslife]

Im a yr11 GCSE student and looking at this Im baffled so much

[ps]

Edexcel released a new specimen set in january 2020, to portray the updated format/difficulty of exams after the backlash this 2019 series received. Is there any chance you could work through those papers for us candidates taking autumn exams in 2 weeks? it would be greatly appreciated

Nice video mate, just a question, what programme do you use?

[parkour.parkour]

I'm starting A level maths this year, and this looks impossible. Do you think I'm gonna do well if I'm struggling to attempt the first question?

[bindhyachalprasad]

Thank you for your excellent post. Do you have a link to 2019 Further Maths and AEA papers by any chance and to their Marks scheme too? Many thanks in advance

[iehejebehex]

Retaking in October idk whether I should attempt this paper, would it be a good indication

[bellajones]

Hi Maths Explained, thank you for this your videos are so helpful! Could you maybe do the other set of mock papers too? Thanks!

[giyantube]

on question 6 (a) are you not missing a solution where sin theta = 0?
You could have multiplied both sides by cos theta and brought the 9sin theta to the other side and then factorised by sin theta.

[superstudents]

Hi there! What software are you using to annotate on these documents?

[xhen]

Thanks for this video. Are you going to do the edexcel November 2019 paper?
Can you post the question papers; so we can try as well?

[ObafemiAO]

For question 10 ii) you were using is greater than, rather than greater than or equal to. Wouldn’t that change the answer?

[montymf]

Could you please explain why at 59:00 the equation is [3x-28] is greater than (x-9) and not greater than or equal to, as it states in the question?
