Three things worth knowing before you decide: - The fee is refunded only if your grade changes. - An EAR is a full re-mark, so marks can go down as well as up. - Deadlines are shorter than most people assume — "I will de…

Six weeks of nothing to do but overthink. For anyone who sat A-Levels this June: what are you doing to stay sane until results day on 13 August 2026? Trips, work, getting ahead on uni reading?

Genuinely split here. 9709 P3 felt long (that integration into partial fractions chain), but M1 had a nasty connected-particles question at the end. Which one cost you more time?

Everyone says active recall, but for 9709 isn't that basically just doing questions from memory? Curious how people apply it to maths specifically.

The 9706 Paper 3 case study is a time sink. Did anyone actually finish with time to check? What did you cut to stay on pace?

For 9489, I know the content but run out of time on provenance (origin, purpose, audience). How do you make value/limitations quick and still score?

My recall is fine but 9700 application questions throw a context I have never seen and I blank. How do you train for the "apply it to something new" questions?

Mechanisms are where I bleed marks in 9701. Curve arrows, conditions, intermediates — what finally made them stick for you?

I have rough raw marks from going through the papers with the mark scheme. How are people turning that into a predicted grade for 9701 when the 2026 boundaries are not out yet?

9700 Paper 2 always has one big data/stats question that decides grades. How did people find the analysis this series — and did you finish in time?

For 9990 — without breaking any rules, which research areas felt heavily weighted this series? Trying to gauge how the next cohort should prioritise.

In 9695, where is the line between analysing language/form and giving context? My essays drift into summary and I lose the method marks.
