nope actually i am in year 12 as well ... i got 94 in c3..

WOW the most I have in any unit is 95 but that was in D1 I need to get somthing like that to be able to get an A* and I think I could if I didn't make so many silly mistakes

lol trust me i am not every happy about that grade .. compared to my expectations they are not that good ... how many units in total are u doing again??

June 14th - C3
June 21st - C4

No exams in between. June will be full on maths for me, need an A, and I'm revising from a C in C3 in January and knowing 60% of my C4 course.

If you have nothing after C4, that is revision heaven.

yh well if u finished the book already you should deffo get the A* , my teacher normally goes slow anyway and now that stats is over we have more time for c4. yh past papers are good, i normally do solomon aswell.

i find the solomon papers hard so i usually download them and not solve them at the end

Why aren't you happy with that? You only need 90 on both C3 and C4 for an A* don't you? By the end of this year I'll have done C1-4, D1 and S1. Then by the end of next year I'll have done FP1-3, M1-2 and S2, should be fun

thats good .. i am thinking of doing the same ... FP1-2 and M2 and maybe some more i dunno haben;t decided yet

Definite correlation between the people on this thread and intelligence. I also need an A*, kind off anyway. Sitting C3 and C4. Feeling a lot better about them than I was in Jan!

I find C4 much harder than C3! The only hard stuff on C3 is differentiation, and that isn't too bad. The integration in C4 is much harder in my opinion - though I agree the vectors are fine.

I am surprised that you find C3 differentiation hard. The hardest chapter in C3 is trigonometry, that is because it is very long so takes long time to master.

The differentiation of trig, I think. Sometimes you get annoying trig rearrangements first.

Are you looking to do maths at uni then? I want to but all the places I've looked at need at least 1 A* so thats why I have to get it in these C3 + C4

Nope Iam hopefully doing to electrical engineering .. I love maths ..maths has always jst been a passion of mine .. Which uni are u thinking of going to?

For me they are both about the same. C4 is more mathematically challenging but C3 has a lot of identities to remember. I enjoy the actual maths in C4 more even though it's harder but I'd say C3 is easier, I just find it harder to remember things, so they are pretty even for me.

I've been doing mostly maths up until now and am pretty happy with recent mock results so think I will give that a break to do some physics and chem.

c4 needs more studying than c3 :/ but when you study and learn, the papers are all the same..

Just like M1 <3.

Its not even the integration thats hard, I feel like its all the other bits around it. The parts working up to the actual calculating bits are really irritating. And they almost always give you really awkward numbers to work with. C4 is the only one I can't grasp. Even M2 is easier than this :s

[bogus]

I find vectors relatively straight-forward, some of the exam questions I've seen on vectors aren't too bad, there is just A LOT to remember for the topic.. probably not as much as Integration though.

[Bantersaurus Rexx]

All you A* folk :L I'm only really aiming for an A, well a good A only need like 140 UMS between C3 and C4 so shouldn't be too hard lol

I'm not sure really, I think I'll put down Oxford/Cambridge as one of my options just as a long shot because you never know, they might like me others I'm thinking about are warwick and ucl/icl but to be honest I haven't got a clue at the moment and theres quite a few I need to look into. Do you know where you want to go yet?

[Mr Maths]

Just finished C4 today and I go on study leave after this week. Got M2 and FP1 next week which I am not too worried about, but Physics unit 5 on the 11th and I am sooo scared for that! C4 will have to revised in the meantime. Hope the exam paper is a nice one
