I've written a practice paper for OCR H245 further maths statistics. It's on my website along with the Edexcel spec papers I wrote a couple of years ago. I'm planning to do a mechanics one in the next week or two as well.

I think I've taught compound angle formulae every year since I started 5.5 years ago, using this diagram from the Edexcel textbook. I still remember how awfully it went the first time! It's nice to be able to look back and think that I have improved my practice over that time.

Thank you - this is the important table. STEP is by far the best predictor for tripos performance (and indeed, better than any other predictor for any other tripos). AS UMS scores are far less useful for maths applicants than other subjects.

A nice binomial expansion question from 2000 STEP I. I may set it to my Year 12 when we do it this year.
