Revision Paper 1

Please do the following set of questions urgently: Even if you completed them Thursday night please do them again. Foundation students just do the first 1 or 2 questions in each section, the third is much harder. Key Questions Redo 2017 past paper Question Paper Mark scheme On both Higher and Foundation Indices – all types from basic to fractional/neg Exact Trig Values Rates on graphs – gradient Angles in Polygons Equivalent Ratios – eg a:b then b:c etc. BIDMAS with algebra eg. 5a + 2a x 3a Congruency Multipliers eg. X is increased by 200% what is the multiplier Area of circles in terms of pi Vectors Adding / Subtracting / Multiplying / Dividing Mixed Fractions On Higher Paper Only Surds with mixed numbers Cum Freq with box plots and interpreting Scalar vector questions Surface area – volume – similar shapes Sequences – Fibonacci, quad seq nth term Simult eqns Inequalities – including graphing Tree Diagrams including conditional probability Parallel
