    S1 might be a little bit tough to get an A, but C2 is a breeze! no matter how intensive your revision is for s1 the probability of getting an A is 0.6 judging on its difficulty

    From an E:eek: ; I doubt it. If you are alright at maths and work hardcore then maybe. That is just quite a big jump; not saying you can't do it though just looks like it would take a lot of hard work!¬!!

    Meh, I did it for S1 C2 and M1. It's easy, just keep going over examples until concepts 'click'.

    honestly i was lucky to scrape a 'B', but that's because I found S1 super ubber boring! i didn't even bother reading the book for my exam 2 years ago and just went through exam papers over and over again until i was bored of it to death :lol: it really depends on whether you are a fan of long winded and worded questions, because believe me S1 is full of it! S2/S3/S4> S1 IMO

    Have also gone up 3 or 4 grades with retakes..the key to Maths exams is to do past papers until you can do them without even thinking about it!
