This is so helpful! I love how you just explain every thought process and step rather than relying heavily on the mark scheme - as a GCSE student, it's easy to understand and even relatable. Keep up the good work, I'll be watching all your videos before my exams :)

Thank you for a clear and easy to understand solution to this paper. I was wondering if you would be kind enough to let me know what software you are using to write so easily? Furthermore, are you writing on a pdf document? Thank you.

Query on number 6.
I can totally see where you get the Y value if you count down from the top (36) and I realise these are squares etc, but if you go up the way the C is not located at the top of the second square, so not 2 full squares going up. Looking at it, it would be around say 17 or so.

Do you think the C position is a misprint and it should have been at the top of C, so exactly half-way up?

Very useful sir, thank you very much. Did you go live on Wednesday? I think I missed it?

For the 1st one do you have to write it as an improper fraction or can you leave it as mixed
