im not feeling too bad, did a couple of past papers and getting 80's, just trying to remember stuff that isn't on the formula sheet (thankgod for the formula sheet haha) if anyone struggles with time, doing section 2 first is pretty good because that's where all the marks are,

good luck all with maths and ancient tomorrow.

is it true that they reset all graphics calculators and if so.. which settings are reset?
Yes that is true, because they don't want you using all those useful calculator programmes that you have programmed into your calculator to help you cheat!

If it's a Casio 9850GB or 9860, then it will certainly default to Radians as the angle measure and you'll need degrees. So as soon as you get your calculator back, do the following:
Press [MENU] [1] [SHIFT] [SET-UP], then scroll down and change "Rad" to "Deg" by pressing [F1].

The rest should be fine.

And PLEASE, you should do all diagrams in PENCIL.

FML Forced to do an all nighter cause of shit Ancient! Haven't started studying it at all yet. But I am pretty good at it, in top 5? and That's when I haven't revised for it.. Ancient to me feels like general knowledge.. I think cause I like it :) As for Maths, no where near prepared as I want to be, but as prepared as I can be. And to think, I will never do Maths again.. Kinda sad but at the same time makes me uberly happy.
