Resitting as maths with a2 modules

Please help guys

I resat 2 of my 3 AS maths modules, along with the three A2 modules. Obviously a-level maths is kind of a lot of work anyway, but I didn't find it too bad doing the extra. The core 1 and core 2 are built on at A2 so it isn't like you are going to forget the material in C1 and C2. I found that i understood C2 material much better after learning the A2 stuff, and actually found that exam quite easy.

Unless you really don't have an understanding of the basics of each module (in which case you probably wouldn't be doing maths A2 anyway) you probably don't need to start revision for the AS exams right at the beginning of the year. I started around january/february, and began with the topics I found hardest. Overall it's very doable to have resits along with A2 exams, the only issue is when the exams actually start happening and they can be a little overwhelming if you have a lot. But, AS exams tend to be earlier than A2 so don't let that put you off.

What did you get first time? and what did you get after the resit?

at AS i got a D in maths, with a C in core 1 and 2 and a U in decision.
I resat core 2 and decision, got an A in core 2 (89 UMS) and still only a D in decision, but with my A2 modules got a B overall.

Hello, So would you say I wouldnt be out of my depth? I know my content, its just in the exam , i forgot the simplest things, like how to solve quadratics. Also last year, I didnt finish one exam, and I cried for a couple days after. When I go into an exam, I know my content, but the aim is always just to finish if you know what I mean? It messes up my grade

I think if you're pretty confident with the content and it was more a case of some bad exams then you definitely won't be out of your depth. If you have trouble finishing some exams have you considered seeing if you'd be eligible for extra time?

Otherwise, issues with forgetting basic stuff when under pressure (and i've definitely done that) may not occur next year, when you'll have more exam experience, and doing lots of timed exam practice helps with that as well

The thing is also, It takes me a lot of time to understand what a questions is asking of me too so i dont know

it's probably worth looking into extra time in that case, if you have a tutor at college they would probably know where to direct you, or someone in student support, or any of your teachers really. you'd just do some sort of test (i don't know the specifics of it though) and then you could perhaps get 10% or 25% more time.

I'm going to go to look into it. Although do you think that it would be possible to achieve an A grade in maths considering I do know the content well, its just that I panick in exams hall, all though I appear calm. I didnt revise for my jan mocks, and got the same grades as I did when I put in the effort.

from what i can tell, yeah i do think you could get an A

The aim was for me to start resit revision this week, and be finish with c1 and c2 by christmas, is that too much

I know someone who resat all AS maths modules this year as well as taking the A2 ones.
Got a B at AS last year, got an A* at A2 this year.

it sounds reasonable, since you'll find your A2 workload increases after christmas. the only thing would be if you think you'd forget the material by the time the exams come around, but just reviewing the material in the weeks before the exam might be enough

What subjects did he do? At AS was he close to an A grade?
