(Excuse messy working - trying to explain to my son for his Add Maths in a spare 3 mins before dinner!) I don’t have access to the solutions.

Now there is another different model to deal with - apparently the S-D key is back!

He is considering moving to #AQA. I know it should be fair, but poss isn’t?
