Ranked 15/98 :) aiming 90+ :D haha go for it son and me and you to the top :D
Let's do this shit brah.

Any others tips you guys know of? I'd recommend going over some simple unit conversion so you don't freak out in the test when they throw it in.

Smash all content! Understand it all and revise over preliminary then do past papers for confidence and feel of the exam :D

I haven't even thought about predicting tbh. I think there will be a mix of everything.

What's the trickier stuff they normally pull off? Is there anything tricky they can even pull off? Lolol.

Maybe some of those multi-stage probability questions. What is the chance of at least one, what is the chance of only one, etc.

I've done a past paper (maybe 08/07) where they've put deciles as a question... so definitely revising all year 11 too.

I'm ranked 1/60ish with an average of 95 so that's what I'm aiming for. Generally the harder questions for me are the ones where they ask you to make an equation or formula based off of a graph or something. And unit conversions get me too. And two-triangle problems, ugh I spend so much time on them trying to figure out which side/angle I need to find. Bearings and angle addition/subtraction prove to be a bit challenging as well.

Overall, past papers and review for the next 3 days! At least it's not essays!

I find it's a lot easier when you break down the question. Is it a right-angled triangle or not? (So basically, can we apply pythagoras and trigonometry rules?) or is it a non-right angle triangle and therefore we have to use our cosine and sine rules, etc.

Then just determine what sides and angles you have, and apply from there.

edit: misread what you said but I'll leave that shit there anyway for anyone reading
