Thank you. I understand the questions more better now and your videos are very helpful. I was only a little confused of Q 30 of this question paper.

@@MrTompkins That's great. Thx

[@icymas]

Thank you - I have my non-calculator exam tomorrow morning, it was nice going through a paper.

[@MrTompkins]

Glad you felt it was helpful M! I do recommend going through as many as you can before your finals in June, so feel free to pop back and watch some more. Good luck tomorrow!

[@Sara-qt8mc]

[@MrTompkins]

Really glad it helped you Sara! There are lots of these videos, and I'd recommend watching as many as you can between now and the exams. Good luck!

Where did yo😢get your ruler

[@MrTompkins]

I use OneNote for Windows 10 to record my videos, and the ruler is built into that. Handy!

[@alohatmw1]

@@MrTompkins Thanks for that, although the ruler looks like a proper plastic ruler. I am all apple now so they may have an equivalent

Thanks so much, just gained a sub😁

[@MrTompkins]

A very welcome addition! Thank you! There are lots of these - try to go over them all before your exams =)

Hello I do not understand question 15 and how you got 40 degrees as it says to figure out A,E and D.

[@MrTompkins]

Hey Ivana - it's not A, E and D, but angle AED. When they refer to an angle with 3 letters like this, the angle is at the middle letter, and the two arms reach out to the first and last letter. So AED refers to the angle at E, reaching out to A and D.

@@MrTompkins thank you so much

[@raptorzz8571]

What topic does Q23 come under? Ive been trying to look for any learning material on it but i cant find anything

[@MrTompkins]

It's often referred to as "proof". You are using algebra to show that something is true for all values rather than for particular values. I dont have a video specifically on foundation tier proof questions, but the first few on this video would be suitable: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKLdqX2shNSridU

@@MrTompkins Thank you

40:57 why is it n-n-1 ?

[@MrTompkins]

Think about a similar problem with numbers, eg 5 - (5 +1). Following BIDMAS, we'd add the contents of the brackets first to get 5-(6), and then do the subtraction, giving us -1. That's the same result as 5 - 5 - 1.

You've earned a new sub thanks bro

[@MrTompkins]

Thanks for the sub! I see you've collected some yourself. What's your channel about?

[@MrTompkins]

@@alfieisdabest-gc1jd nice! Some advice - it took me as long to get to 100 as it did to then get to 1000! You've got to be patient and just hang in there! Play the long game =)

[@chaneld152]

37:10 why is y 4?

[@MrTompkins]

y = x squared, so when x=-2, then y = (-2) * (-2), which is y=4. If these questions are troubling you, try using a calculator to generate the values in the table for you. Check this question out as an example of how to do this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGXWiWmkqZ6Iask

nice video

[@MrTompkins]

Thanks for the visit!

[@realboyjust4kicks664]

I think he got number 9 wrong

[@MrTompkins]

Real boy Just4kicks , i do sometimes make mistakes, but I’m pretty sure this one is right. What did you make it?

[@sanchilabagchi1339]

I got 7/8 as well i dont think he's wrong

[@JordanMiranda-of1cr]

bro you need to explain some things more in depth , because you say somethings that i dont understand properly , and then need to try figure it out by myself , but everything else was good

[@MrTompkins]
