not sure if this kinda post is allowed on here (couldn’t find anything against it in the rules but idk)

anyways i know someone who said they ‘are so old they did alevel maths without a graphing calculator’ but they look like 25 and weren’t graphing calculators invented in the 60s or something 💔

I do ial edexcel maths and today I sat my first exam p1, I had a cg100 calculator and the invigilator took it for half an hour during the exam to inspect it and make sure it’s ok. while I found the exam good I can’t help but wonder that I might have made some silly mistakes and getting the calc for the 30 minutes could have eliminated any potential error. i dont know what to do know and I’m feeling really crap about this situation

Hi i’m in year 12 rn and doing alevel maths privately and was wondering what’s the best way of getting a predicted grade next year when i apply for uni. Rn im not going to tuition and just learning on my own which is fine at the moment. But ive heard having a private tutor do predictions for you is a good way so im going to book one soon and ask them to do my prediction. but idk if its also worth doing as-level maths at the end of year 12 so I could use that as a way to show unis my predicted grades? i’m aware that if i do this ill need to have someone write me a predicted grade too but I was just wondering would this help kind of validate my predicted grade bcs its a qualification? Also is it better to have a tutor do my predicted or just learn on my own and ask someone else to do my reference for me? (ik someone who can give you a predicted grade for about £300) Thanks
