Tips
A-Level Mathematics (9709) is built from components, not taught as one block: Pure 1, 2 and 3, Mechanics, and Probability & Statistics 1 and 2. Which you sit depends on your school's entry — check that before you plan revision. There is no point grinding Mechanics if you are entered for Statistics.
Pure is the spine. Everything else assumes you can differentiate, integrate and handle algebra without thinking. Weakness there shows up as lost marks in Mechanics and Statistics, not in Pure.
Method marks are generous, and they are awarded for what you wrote down. Showing every line is the highest-return habit in this subject.
