Pure 1 Reaction & Predictions for Pure 2: A-Level Maths Exams 2025 📚

Tickets for the 'in between' revision session available here. It's an almost 3 hour recording of a live lesson aimed at preparing you for the topics in Edexcel Pure Paper 2. The recording is available immediately, and it includes a 2 hour additional video going over 'Your Turn' questions - and it only costs £15 https://www.tickettailor.com/events/bicenmaths/1715518?
(I even wrote some of my own questions for this session!)

If you're interested in recordings of my Aiming for A* sessions, now reduced by 50% to only £15, you can get them here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/bicenmaths/1618853?

For all of my paid-for sessions, I aim to use questions that you won't have seen before, so that the sessions feel 'fresh' and give you the chance to try new questions!

This was for the Edexcel A-Level Pure 1 Paper, which was sat on 4th June 2025.

Expected topics in Paper 2:
Quadratics - maybe modelling?
Partial fractions (I didn't mention this in the video!)
Proof by contradiction
Binomial expansion
More differentiation: Newton-Raphson, 1st principles, implicit, parametric, convex/concave/inflection, connected rates of change
More integration: parametric, integration by parts, partial fractions
Differential equations, probably with partial fractions (forgot to mention this, but it's guaranteed!)
Parametrics
Exponential/Non-linear to linear
Log equations
Functions
Modulus graphs
Geometric series
Recurrence series/sigma notation
Small angle approximations
Harmonic identity - maybe modelling?
Indices?
Trapezium rule?
More vectors?
