Studying AS level Maths outside of school? Thoughts/experiences?
Hi,

I have just finished my GCSEs and am wanting to go on to study Medicine at university. The AS levels I am definitely starting next year are: Chemistry, Biology, Maths and Spanish. However, I absolutely love Drama and want to take it next year. I can do so (as well as the others listed above) if I study Maths outside of school.
I have all the textbooks for AS level already, and both my dad and brother are around for some support if I don't understand something and my school seem willing for this to happen, if not enthusiastic, and say they'll arrange at least an hour where I can talk to a maths teacher and check on my progress etc, each week.
I was just wondering if anybody has any thoughts or experiences of this. If they've taken AS level maths - Edexcel exam board - and how they thought the course was.
Thank you

Re: Studying AS level Maths outside of school? Thoughts/experiences?
I took Edexcel maths this year and because one of my two teachers was useless, we pretty much taught ourselves C2 and S1 for the January exams. We had a decent teacher for C1 but it's not that hard!

Examsolutions is the best for learning new concepts and going through exam papers, I've found.
