Hey im doing further maths this year in year 11 and at the moment we are half way through business maths and we have already completed core and matrices. I am aiming for a 50 and want to have the most amount of time for practice exams, at roughly what time should i start doing them and should i be worried as we might finish the course late july or early august which seems like not enough time. Also my results so far have been 97% for core and 96% for matrices, i was hoping for at least 1 100% but i think i am rank 1 in the cohort is this necessary to get a 50?
Thanks

if you're rank 1, then your raw sac marks don't matter. you could be averaging 40%, but if you're rank 1, you'll still be able to get a 50. the further exams are insanely competitive though, so you'll basically need to be aiming for 100% on them if you want a 50 - i think you can afford to lose one mark total over both exams.

i wouldn't worry about your class's pace, it seems pretty standard. if you finish at the start of august you'll have a good three months to revise, which is more than enough time. if it makes you feel better, my class has a sac for our first module in two weeks :P
