**No-one can know for sure what will appear on Paper 2. This paper is not a guarantee of the
topics you will see on the next paper, but is a good guess based on what has come up lots on
previous years, and taking into consideration the topics we’ve already seen on Paper 1. All of
these questions are taken from various Edexcel Past Papers (with the exception of Q20 which
I wrote myself). I hope you find it helpful. You can find the solutions on my YouTube
channel, and I’ll be LIVE on YouTube and TikTok on Tuesday evening (6th June, 7-8pm for
Foundation and 8-9pm for Higher)! J
