well this is going to sound mad- but i did AS and got an A, we did P1, S1 and M1, all concurrently. I found it really hard, especially as i was in a new school with new teachers, plus there was lots of pressure and they expected u to know it. then in yr 13 i totally dropped it, but im thinking of doing a 3rd year of a levels. ive been going over the books and i must say (without being hypocritical of my opening thread)- when you look at it on your own with no pressure it seems so much simplar. ive gone back to my gcse to cover the basics and im confident i have those, ive been thro half of p1 and it does seem simpler. i think that we wasnt taught everything at gcse and so that didnt help. ive gone to ocr and aqa and got exam papers for all units and even FP1 looks feasible if you've studied it!!!! plus the fact that for the new 2005 syllabus u really are only doing p1,2,3 + 2 app units (cos 1-3 now is 1-4) it means slightly less to learn. i think i will definitely do p1-4 and probably s1,s2 however i can never imagine a time when i will understand which side of the line normal distribution works on!! lol it always seems to be made up as they go............ hehe
