Re: The Edexcel C4 (21/06/12 - PM) Revision Thread
:/ I really don't need to do this exam
I retook 3 exams C3, C4 and M1. I only need 2 more marks overall from anyone of them to get an A. I sucked at M1 and C4 and only got 69ums in them and C3 was 90ums I just wanted to make sure I got the marks
But now I have done M1 and found it surprisingly easy and checked on Arsey's answers on the M1 thread, unless his answers were wrong I am going to get 95% or 96% . Which means I am taking exams now to get an A* which is not needed for my uni offer :/ It may sound a bit stupid but should I revise for C3 and C4? just to get an A*?

Re: The Edexcel C4 (21/06/12 - PM) Revision Thread
I'm doing A level maths in one year, did C1 C2 M1 in Jan and got BBU respectively. Retaking all so i've got C1 C2 C3 C4 M1 S1 this summer. I've done M1 S1 C1 so far and using the mark schemes online I know my raw mark in each; M1: 75/75 S1: 72/75 C1:68/75. I'm planning to get a mark of similar kin in C2 on Thursday.
My last exam excluding C3/C4 is 29th May so i'll be spending 29th May - 21st June doing solid C3/C4 revision i.e. excessive tutoring+every past paper. I generally understand everything with regards to the syllabus but definitely need practice in order to achieve A*.
If I manage to achieve this then it'll help ease the pressure of next year as i'll already have an A* and considering most uni offers are ~A*AA (the uni's i'm looking at anyway) I think that already having an A* in the bag will be incredible. -
Re: The Edexcel C4 (21/06/12 - PM) Revision Thread
We finished the book like what, last month? Currently on study leave and I'm beginning revision NOW. Pretty much forgot everything! :/ - praying and hoping that life will become much better within the next week or so!
Good Luck everyone!
Not to mention that personally I think papers are getting slightly difficult as the years progress, but thats just my opinion

Re: The Edexcel C4 (21/06/12 - PM) Revision ThreadTo each their own...(Original post by sukhys)
nah no way. vectors and integration is much harder than trig and differentiation. my teacher says c4 is like 5 times harder than c3, but i disagree with him, c4 is harder than c3 but not 5 times harder
I much prefer C4 integration and vectors to C3 trig.

Re: The Edexcel C4 (21/06/12 - PM) Revision ThreadC4 ftw.(Original post by James A)
yeah it is, that's one of the strange things about A2 maths.
Especially edexcel, some people think C3 is harder than C4 anddddd vice versa.
getting 180 ums across C3 and C4 seems almost impossible though
hope we'll get it
what units have you done so far?
