    Hey,
    Thought I'd set up this thread in preparation for the upcoming exam, even though it's a long way away.

    Post your questions or things you're stuck on, and we'll try to sort it out

    Any particular areas you don't like?

    I just bought CGP's A2-Level Mathematics Revision Guide for OCR. It's got C3, C4, M2 and S2 in it. I haven't read through it yet (psychology exam tomorrow) but it looks pretty good.

    Anyone know which papers were the "hardest"?

    Generally finding M2 easy, want to find the hardest possible questions as I'm aiming for 100 UMS on this paper to up my chances of that A* in FM.

    Any questions you post here I'll try to answer if I'm on at the same time.

    papers are generally of equal hardness i find in M2, if you've done all of them look for some delphis questions i guess,and all misc excercises out of the M2 book

    That's the thing - I haven't done most the papers, looking for the hardest ones now to cram (been too busy with FP2, FP3 and STEP).

    The one topic I usually struggle on in M2 is ladders against walls (especially a non-vertical wall). Does anyone have any notes on this kind of thing? Thanks!
