Hi jpi, this is unrelated (and a slightly strange question) but will the MAT format change ( it being online) make a difference to the type of questions they give in the long form questions at the end. Im just wondering because, your expected to type your answers, so does this completely rule out stuff like integration and geometry ( things you cant type) ? Looking at this years paper there problems were algebra/logic questions. So yeah , do you think theyll get rid questions about integration and geometry etc (in the long form section) for the sake of not being able to type solutions out?
@@Nishaan478 I don't think they'd rule them out. They could very well expect you to compute integrals on scrap paper and then just explain that's what you did to calculate an area or something. Although that being said, I think it's trickier to mark, but to be honest I'm not a huge fan of the change of format
@@JPiMathsThanks for asking! I denfinetly prefer pure maths over anything else , especially over logicy/reasoning problems. In particular I find polynomials/integration and differentiation the most interesting in long form questions. It’d be really nice if you could go through similair problems (not restricted to the mat) !
Thanks Sir.
You're welcome!

Neither , I’d much rather do it on paper at school in a comfortable environment. Sounds good , so it’s still definelty worth revising all questions!
@@Nishaan478 Absolutely. Out of curiosity, which area of maths would you hope to see come up for the long questions?
