Core Mathematics units C1, C2, C3 and C4 plus two Applications units from the following six combinations: M1 and M2; S1 and S2;D1 and D2; M1 and S1; S1 and D1; M1 and D1.



So yes, you can do C3/4 + M1.

Thanks for the reply :smile:)
I would have to ask for M1 at school ...because some say that S2 is too hard ...

Just do both if you want. Self-teach yourself the one you don't do in class. Can come in handy in case the exam turns out to be quite tough or not in your favour.

Nope !! Not a good idea
I finished my AS level ...so only one of M1 or S2 would do...if not there would be a clash and a waste of my study time !!

Alright, just saying if it would turn out that you'd do better at S2 than M1, that one would be counted rather than M1. A good backup in case.
