Yep edexcel im just a bit worried because I didn't get that great in as and need. A overall but aren't Solomon papers really really really hard?
It depends on what you're used to. I finished all the solomon papers (for all modules) before even looking at the usual papers so I found the normal papers extremely challenging at first because it was a different style of questioning etc. For instance, in a normal paper they wouldn't give you the basic information in a clear layout, but you'll have to deduct it from context.
Which is why I find solomon so simple! Because they spoon feed you all the prerequisites to answer the question, so you just focus on the method.
I guess it's just a matter of what you're used to xD
Aw dw, I'm sure you'll do well :3 you have plenty of time. Feel free to pm me any C3/C4/S2 related questions, as they're still fresh in my head :P

s2 is that further maths
Hmm, a C is still a good grade so well done, and I think an A is totally achievable :3
"I'm gonna resit a few papers" careful on the amount, cause A2s can be challenging, so you might be torn for time in the summer~
I would love to help^^ Besides, I haven't been doing anything productive with my holiday so far XD
You can take S2 at A2 maths or further AS maths I took maths for A2 and AS. What additional module are you doing?

Thanks I was actually thinking of resisting all of them cos I did bad in c2 and s1 and c1 would be easy to get more marks than I got but I'm guessing that's a bad idea erm gonna do m1 next year argh

I see, but I don't think that's a good idea... A2 is much more difficult than AS, so the more modules you resit the less time you'll be able to spend on your A2's.
Also, let's say you resit and increase a module's ums by 10, you could just focus more on A2s and increase them by the same amount?
wut O_O you're gonna do M1 next year??!? So what maths modules did you do this year?

Yeah that makes sense i know right m1 is gonna be horrible c1 c2 and s1 we started c3 after exams and it already seems horrible

Nononono, don't do M1, I'd recommend (strongly) doing S2 next year, it's 10x easier than S1.
I got a C in S1 last year, got almost 100% in S2 this year... (A overall) The questions are SO repetitive, and require almost no knowledge of S1. Pls reconsider taking M1 if possible... or talk to your teachers if you can?

Lol we can't choose the whole. Sixth form does m1 im rubbish at physics too
tbh I suck at Maths but still managed a decent grade. Got a B at GCSE but managed a B at A level, which is pretty decent as even people with A* at GCSE often end up with Cs or Ds.
I just used www.examsolutions.net and www.m4ths.com. The first is good for concept and the second is good for preparation and summarising.
For C3 I did all of the Edexcel papers and then like 3 Solomon papers. For C4 I I kind of neglected it and saved my self with the second website. By saved myself I mean I got a C for it (Other unitis were all As and Bs).
Best advice is to do past papers and be confident with them. Papers papers papers.

I managed 78% in this year's M1 paper (which was hard) and I really (almost solely) just used videos on the two websites I listed. Watch the videos and then do M1 papers. I think I did all of the ones on the Edexcel website with the exception of 2.
