    Oh mannn I hate this module. I think FP3 is so much easier (relative to m3; that's not to say fp3 is easy!).
    I just find it soo difficult! Any tips anyone?

    With (further) maths modules, I tend to go through each exercise in chapters of the book (doing a few questions), and only then do I hit the past papers when I'm comfortable with the content. But with this module, I'm struggling to get into grips with the individual exercises, if that makes sense. It's just sooo hard. But provided I do well in the other modules (i.e. get 85UMS in s2, fp2 and fp3), I can still get an A* with 25UMS in M3. But in all honesty, even that is looking unachievable atm. FML. :facepalm:

    Yeah you're right practice does make perfect. Thanks, good luck to you too
