He's still working on conceptualising probability, maybe we just go numbers before ideas on this one
Alex gets the idea behind sets, probability and the ways we represent these and can transform one into the other

He's currently just making a lot of silly mistakes when doing them so will have to try to become more consistent overtime
Once given a refresher, Luca was able to solve the trig questions competently.

A lot of this test will just come down to how much Luca remembers. The important things to remember being: - How to read Stem & Leaf plot and other graphs - How to use the calculator to solve statistics questions - The standard deviation being a measure of the spread of the values - What the different values stand for in the cos and sine rule - When to use inverse sine and inverse cos - The logic of probability trees without replacement "one less item on the numerator, one less on the denominator" And any other things that could appear in the test

Alex seems to be more or less ready for the test tomorrow. He has a sound knowledge of the principles covered in the paper, so should be okay as long as he does a little bit more practice to iron out the silly mistakes.
Some silly mistakes. The bit on pointing out an image on one graph and and then referring to it on another graph could cause problems, so it would be worth trying them again. Maybe going onto Desmos and looking at comparisons between two graphs would help. Try to phrase some "explainer" questions more wholly.
