Re: Do you do Additional Maths?S1 should be a doddle because(Original post by myfriendSQRT(-1))
I agree that the standard does seem to be very similar, and across a really broad range of topics. I was astonished about how much of C1, C2, and M1 we covered in add maths (up to non-linear acceleration). There are bits and pieces in C1 and C2 I think that aren't covered in the FSMQ, but you get taught those anyway. Further maths is well worth doing. S1 you will have covered bits of (and its easy) and D1 is mostly new (apart from linear programming). FP1 is totally new, but a lot of fun if you enjoy maths. It's such a good opportunity, especially if its taught well and frequently enough! Good luck
1. It is easy
2. I am doing AddMaths
3. I did Statistics GCSE
My teacher gave us an S1 test to do in class conditions , OCR MEI i think it was, and I got 69/72 anyway! -
Re: Do you do Additional Maths?Maybe, but I think if it did cover Vectors it would help a lot!(Original post by lollington-mccoy)
Yes, and thank god there are no vectors :P -

I am aiming for full marks.
I just started studying S1 today. -
Re: Do you do Additional Maths?Well it depends on a few things.(Original post by raheem94)

What year are you in?
What qualifications have you got or are studying towards that presume Statistics knowledge?
How good are you at maths? -
Re: Do you do Additional Maths?My imaginary friend(Original post by GreenLantern1)
Cheers,Well I take it you are into maths from the name, your friend 'i'!
Yeah, I'm going to study Physics next year, and I really enjoy it. OCR MEI is a great board for Maths. I genuinely enjoy doing the papers (geeky moment).

How good are you at maths?
At O-level i did GCE 'O' Level in maths, not GCSE.
I have completed A-Level maths with an A* grade, i am currently studying further maths. Statistics is a part of my further maths.
I am self-studying all units.
You can see my marks in my profile to judge my maths ability. -
Re: Do you do Additional Maths?Well looking at your profile I would say you are fairly good at maths, so it should really take you only a month or so if you give it time and dedication. What happened with the M3 script then?(Original post by raheem94)

You both are pros at maths, and I have learnt a lot from you guys(Original post by GreenLantern1)

Thanks

A month is too much for me, i also have to do S2, FP3, AEA and physics. So i was planning to finish S1 within a week, is it possible to get 100/100 level in S1 in a week? -
Re: Do you do Additional Maths?Lol yeah those q's were past paper ones(Original post by GreenLantern1)
Arre you doing addmaths atm? And I am sure you are immense too, don't be modest!

Re: Do you do Additional Maths?You are the same guy who was struck at that CAST diagram and some other trig questions a few days ago, right?(Original post by blueray)

Are you doing A-Level or O-Level? -

It's like as level but not actually

Re: Do you do Additional Maths?If you're good at maths it is a rather easy A* tbh, doesn't require much effort, plus the grade boundaries are generally really low.(Original post by Zhy)
I didn't even know Add Maths existed last year, otherwise it could have been another easy A* to add to my long list. </cocky>

Re: Do you do Additional Maths?
Doing AddMaths with WJEC and it's not a GCSE it's a certificate which means that my holiday isn't as long as others as it is after everything...
and you get distinction, merit, pass or fail
I have 10 days between my last GCSE exam-history (15th June) and AddMaths exam (25th June) which means I can't go on holiday early or whatnot>.<
On the plus side, however, I still miss speech day

Re: Do you do Additional Maths?FSMQ doesn't cover vectors then? My Additional Maths IGCSE does(Original post by GreenLantern1)
Maybe, but I think if it did cover Vectors it would help a lot!
