M1 or S1??

S1 is just utter BS. M1 actually makes sense. Just a little logic is all thats needed.

Do S1

My S1 test two days ago was bloody hard while M1 was do able. So M1 all the way. They know how to mess you up in S1, it's so tedious as well.

M1.
It's way easier to get a high score in.
Stats 1 is full of dodgy explanation questions and getting 100% on it is pretty much unheard of, whereas quite a lot of people seem to get 95 - 100 on M1.

M1. So much easier to understand. It actually makes sense, unlike S1, which I struggled with (admittedly because I couldn't be bothered to learn it). Got a B in S1, which I was over the moon with; will be disappointed if I get below 90 on M1. M1 all the way.

You're right. Though nowadays they've made S1 harder so grade boundaries are lower. But yeah 100 is easy in M1 provided you don't make stupid mistakes and you understand everything.

Probability is a bitch. It's so hard to understand. That's the only hard bit about S1 but it's like a third of the exam.

You sound just like me lol. plus with M1 it's easier to know how you've done.

By a long way M1 - S1 is just a series of disconnected, tedious methods that are fairly difficult to grasp and bland to learn. M1 is easier and even enjoyable at times (not the exam though, obviously).

If you also take physics, probably M1?

I done the S1 exam on friday as well and I also found it to be probably the most difficult paper I've done out of all its past papers from 2005-10. But they can be just as cruel in M1. I remember in 2009 when both its papers were ridiculously difficult compared to previous ones.
