are predicted papers worth it??

hi everyone, i'm sitting my igcse maths soon and wanted to know if it is worth buying and doing predicted past papers. I've heard some people say it's really good, and some people say they aren't worth it at all. I wanted to know what the general experience of others was, and if u do support it, what are the best websites to buy predicted papers from? Thank you!

Here are the answers for pure 1

  1. the equation was 9x+5y-7=0

coordinates of t were (8,-13)

area was 528/5

  1. question was to find the first and second derivatives

a) 5/2x^3/2 - 3/2x^1/2 - 3x^-1/2

b) 15/4x^1/2 -3/4x^-1/2 + 3/2x^-3/2

  1. surds question

k is rational and = 11/3

b)i) is sqrt 5 + 2 * sqrt 6

solving for x question, x is 5*sqrt 5 + 10 * sqrt 6

  1. cubic graph, the constant was -1/8 so the graph equation was -1/8(x^2)(x+3)

after the transformation it was (-5,0) and (-2,0)

  1. the a/b indices bullshit

in the first 3 we had to give it in kx^n form so

i)= 0.5x
ii) 81/16 x^2
iii) 9/8 x^3

and then the solutions are 1 and 4 since x>0

  1. integration, show that k= 3

b) integrating it, you get x^4 - 8x^2 + 3x + 1

c) equating (b) to 3x-15 and getting x= +- 2, taking -2 and getting q as (-2,-21)

sector, BC is 4.06

area is 3.93

the angle is greater than pi/2 was a trick, its greater than pi/2 anyway

  1. completing the sqaure

a) was 3(x-2)^2-5

coords of turning point are (2,-5)

inequalities are x>= 2

y<= line equation (dont remember)

and y>= 3(x-2)^2-5

  1. discriminant question, the graph had asymptotes at x=2 and y=0 and cut the y axis at (0,-q/2)
    the range of q where the 2 graphs dont touch are the solutions of q^2-16q+16 so its between 8-4root3 and 8+4root3

a) (3/2 pi,-4)

b)2pi/5

c) k=2.5

d) (pi,4)

e) k=30 since 15 solutions from 0-12pi and 2 solutions from 0-0.8 pi

How was the pure 1 october resit?

I went into the exam confident, i got a 75/75 on a past paper yesterday, but the exam was dissapointing. Was it just me or was the exam very hard(a girl started crying), if so, do yall think the grade boundaries will be lower?

Good Luck (day 2)

Congratulations to everyone who made it through Physics or Business Unit 1 yesterday!

And, good luck to everyone doing Pure Maths 1 or Chemistry Unit 1! I honour everyone who makes it out of the trenches, may the grade boundaries be on our side.

Depression

Pov: you solve every wma 11 paper from 2019 to 2026 and u fet most of them full UMS then in the exam resit in october you fuck up every question even when just uesterday you were solving the same type of questions correctly so you lwk js
