    Don't know if I'll be able to find anyone else here taking this exam, but in case there are people, here's a discussion thread!

    The first four - vector geometry, multivariable calculus, differential geometry and groups. Not a huge fan of groups to be honest, but I've spent more time on that than on the differential stuff so not sure what I'll pick in the exam yet. What about you?

    Same as you, but without the vector geometry. So I don't get any choice!

    Not that long provided you're not bothered with all the proofs of the formulae some of them aren't in the formula book though, so it helps to have an understanding of why they work too

    You can look at the relevant questions from 01-05 of the old syllabus "Pure Maths 6" http://www.mei.org.uk/index.php?sect...s&page=apapers
