Edexcel C3,C4 June 2013 Thread

Nottingham want AAA or A* (Maths) AB and Warwick wanted A*A* (Maths and Further) A in Chemistry plus a 2 in any STEP paper.

In January I got A's in my maths exams but a D in my Chemistry, even though I got 70% raw marks, so I wasn't too impressed really.

hey all,

how is everyone finding c4 so far? heard jan was a hard paper, so hopefully if my theory works, June will be a nice one *touch wood*

I did it in 2.5 weeks self study -its only 6 chapters- it requires practice and time and examsolutions is great at explaining

Well it's not going to be that bad anymore as I'm almost guaranteed A's in both Maths and Further and the B shouldn't be too hard to achieve either.

I'm on the OCR A board but I'm regretting it as I got 70% raw marks but got a D, which is just annoying and yeah, it makes the rest seem pretty trivial really, there's still a few things that catch me in FP2 though so I need to be careful in that exam.

I think you might want to start very soon, I know I've started already as I don't want to leave anything to chance, but that's just me.

What if your theory doesn't work out?

I wouldn't be so dependant on that logic as I used the same logic with S2 for the January exam as I found last Junes to be quite challenging, but this one really increased the difficulty.

I just hope we get a nice vector question and differential equation too, if so then I'll be more than fine.

well we havent actually finished the teaching of the course just yet but so far learning all the different integration techniques is quite challenging, but Im doing them so much now they have got a lot easier.

Thanks, nice to have some reassurance that it won't be such a hard task to learn everything. Out of interest, how did you do?

Not looking forward to June ;(

Got F335 chemistry on the 12th then C3 next day-
Then BIOL5 on the 17th and C4 next day...

Whhyyy??!

bad times! I have a whole week of consecutive exams
:/

I have step II the day after c4 and Step I after fp3

I heard about that ocr paper? Was it hard?
70% and still a D how comes?
Hardest bit in fp2 for me is the transformations in complex number
I'v already started lol, after i received my results and my asian parents found out.....i just turned back on and stopped being lazy lool

Well it was quite a straightforward exam but I was certain I only dropped 8 marks and not actually 18-19 so I wasn't too impressed at all, especially considering I would've had another 6 marks if I just carried on from the previous part of the question, I just had to be daft instead, oh well there is always June.

Yeah, those aren't too bad although when you're transforming an arg function that does seem to throw me slightly, also the fact of the polar co ordinates and which limits you go between sometimes catches me out too, I'm only dropping about 7 marks currently which I think is pretty good for this stage too.

Ah I can only imagine, mine weren't too impressed either but I knew I'd do a lot better come June as I'll be working twice as hard for them. Now it's only time that can help me

I still can't believe June will be the month which will decide my future and yh i figured i should just work harder YOLO lol

How many hours of work are you guys managing to do each day , and how are you able to achieve it

Same place as you guys too - need my A* in C3 and C4, so I'm starting to revise from now, and do some solomon papers. But my school is being slow - they are taking ages to finish C4, so I am also teaching myself vectors, which isn't hard as I did M1, M2 and Physics.

What courses are you guys applying for??
