    That depends on you. Some people could be better at Algebra and want to do both Algebra questions while others would be just average or even bad at Algebra but good at everything else.

    Have you gone over all the eight questions in school or did your teacher just focus on 6 or 7? You have the option on the day to answer 6 out of 8 so many teachers leave out a topic or two and focus on 6 or 7.

    Its good to have a fair idea on your best questions before you go in but read through all the questions and then choose which you feel you will do best at.

    Sometimes they can throw an awful Algebra part or an awful Complex numbers part just too penelize the schools who only prepare for six.

    I have prepared for seven questions, I left out questions one and just going to read through them on the day and pick..

    Q1. Arithmetic
    Q2 & Q3. Algebra
    Q4. Complex numbers
    Q5. Sequences and series
    Q6, Q7, & Q8 is differentiation and functions.

    Q1 is usually nice enough, kinda logical.
    Personally I'd be leaving out one differentiaton Q or one functions Q, depending on the Q.
    We dont do sequences and series so thats my only choice.
