    Further maths prep
    Hello, i am a current year 11 student and i was wondering what i could do over the summer holidays so as to prepare me for further maths. My school uses the edexcel exam board and i am planning on doing some C1 stuff however I would like to know if I should be doing anything else/more? I.e learning S1/D1 etc or perhaps trying to tackle FP1? Any thoughts on what i should be doing?
    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

    They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...

    I wouldnt, its good that you're keen, but this is going to be the only real break you will have between now and uni, so make the most of it. Just make sure your competent with the A* level geometry and Algebra at gcse.

    Well I plan on banging out C1, M1 and FP1 so umm.. well you could do something like that. I get what the guy above is saying but it'd wise to get a decent head start.

    D1 is easy, look over S1, S2, FP1... Then next year you can spend your time looking at FP2 FP3 - you'll be a step ahead all the way
