    How did you manage that?
    Six chapters, one chapter a day. Then a day of rest

    Actually it's because I have a lot of free periods (13.5hrs a week, plus the occasional lunchtime), and I'm allowed to ignore the teacher and just work on whatever topics I want to in maths lessons.
    I haven't actually done any past papers yet, I just wanted to know the concepts so I could work on STEP, but I will be taking the whole A Level in January, because I might as well now. :p:

    I'm starting on FP2 tomorrow so I'll be sure to keep track of how long it takes me, but it's going to take a lot longer by the looks of it! :o:

    D1 and S1 on the edexcel board- hard to think how people can learn any of these modules in less than a week though.

    D1 in 6 hours. Wouldn't recommend it though, I only got a mid C.
