    Enter Spurious with a witty line before announcing coldly "Thread Closed"...

    But eh paper 2 all about good knowledge of the co-ordinate geometry, stats and probability and maybe few proofs.

    Topics that come up often include:
    - Cirle/Line Co-ordinate Geometry
    - Geometry (Know your theorems and your geometry notation! Be able to give reasons for things and prove different scenarios on the fly)
    - Trigonometry (As far as I know it always makes up at least one major question - that's my experience anyway. Know the Sine Rule, Cosine rule and when to use each. If it's right angled remember Pythagoras and how to use Sin/Cos/Tan)

    I haven't covered these yet and so my mock was edited to exclude them, but from the sample papers these tend to make up a major part of paper 2:

    -Statistics
    -Probability

    My opinion is more informed from the sample papers I've looked over than my mock (which was chopped and changed to accommodate for that fact that's we've still a lot of ground to cover Paper 2 wise) so any hints to your mock are unintentional. But if you can handle all of the above (or most of it) you should be grand.
