    I did this (for C3-4, M1 and FP3)... I just worked through the textbook and did past exam papers afterwards.

    Go through the book and do loads of questions. It's not too hard to self teach maths.

    Well they worked for me, I taught myself core 3 and 4 (well not quite finished with core 4 yet) over summer using them. I did a past paper in college under exam conditions and a teacher marked it and I got one mark off an A*. Not bad for a few weeks teaching myself out of those books.
