Arsey's M2 Edexcel revision and resources thread

I did m2 at AS so I can't see how this is possible (unless this is a different exam board)

I was talking about Edexcel, as per the thread title.

The specification for M2 says
"A knowledge of the specification for M1 and its prerequisites and associated formulae, together with a knowledge of algebra, trigonometry, differentiation and integration, as specified in C1, C2 and C3, is assumed and may be tested."

Very often the differentiation involved is no more than C1/2, but it could be. Thus doing M2 when you've only learnt C1/2 means that your school is gambling that there won't be any C3 content on the paper.

Oh yeah, haha, yes I'm with edexcel
Having done probably all of the past papers last year for revision I've never come across c3 differentiation in m2
The only differentiation is with vectors of displacement vel & acc I believe? Which are usually if not always of numerical value rather than trig
