Just completed S2 a few days ago. It looked simple, hypothesis testing took some time to understand, but the other chapters were very easy.

I haven't tried any past papers, but i solved the whole book, including the review exercises, hoping it will be enough.

Optimistic to score full or close to full marks.

What about you?

I mainly need to remember all the definitions really, I'm more worried about FP2/3 tbh... so trying to aim for high marks in S2

I have completed FP2, but only have done 3 chapter of FP3, so i am worried about FP3 rather than other units.

yeah, i've gone through the exercises in the books but still need to do all the past papers, im finding fp2 harder then fp3 at the moment!
S2 is easy. Does anyone have a list of definitions you need to learn? Arsey had a nice one for S1. If not i'll make one.

I have attached Arsey's notes with this post.
S2 isn't too bad it just requires a bit more thought than S1, hypothesis testing is a bit annoying. But I have C2 at the same time though :frown: (Luckily I am already getting 90+ on C2 past papers so I can focus on S2).

As you can see from my posts in the help forum, its not too good. S2 is easy alot in some parts but then again in some chapters it ticks me off!

This is a good link to learn it.

All the chapter except the last chapter, are well explained in the edexcel book.

Haven't started revising for S2 yet, got almost a whole month between my 2nd last exam and S2! I'll spend it grinding those past papers and making sure I get 100% :P
