- Open the 2025 Section One: Calculator-free, Q3. Task focus — Unprompted indefinite integral of a rational function requiring partial fractions. Attempt it before consulting the marking guidance, then identify the evidence or working that supports your answer.
- Record the specific point you missed, write a corrected response, and attempt another question that requires the same skill. Check older material against your current course before reusing it.
Plan your next practice session
Choose one calculation from your practice sequence. Write the quantities and units, show the relationship you used and check the result by substitution or an independent estimate.
