Edexcel GCSE Maths 2019: Topics Likely To Come Up in Paper 3H on 11th June
Amy studied at the University of Bristol and is our revision blog guru. She only graduated recently so understands the pressures of being a student better than most, and is here to share her wisdom so that you revise effectively, smash your exams, succeed at school and write cracking university and job applications.
If you’re taking the Edexcel GCSE Maths course, you will have already sat Paper 1 and 2H. We hope they went well!
To help you revise for Paper 3H, we’ve put together a list of all the topics that haven’t yet appeared in the first two exams, so you know where to focus your revision before the next exam on 11th June.
The topics in the first list are likely to be worth the most marks, and to be the harder questions in the exam. We’d be very surprised if there wasn’t a question on each of these topics.
There has also been very little so far on Solving Quadratic Equations, so watch out for questions on this topic.
They may also retest topics that have been tested before, and are therefore not on this list; so bear this in mind and be sure to revise everything thoroughly. Remember, these are only predictions!
Next to each topic we’ve linked the relevant Revision Video and Topic Question pack, to save you searching for the resources you need.
