I got 200/200 ums for c12. WATCH ALL VIDEOS ON examsolutions.net seriously its the best site ever. the explanations for Trig chapters especially are so clear and amazing! the only reason i got full ums is because of those videos!!!

regarding revision, use solutionbanks. it has all workings for each and every question in the textbook.

best of luck, c34 is even worse haha, make sure your basics especially integration differentiation and trig are STRONG AND CLEAR because u will need them for c34.
+1 for examsolutions, the man behind that site is a godsend
try examsolutions.net for maths
chemguide.co.uk and doc brown.info for chemistry
and a-levelphysicstutor.com for physics
good luck :smile:

examsolutions guy is an ACTUAL life saver
I hated C1, and even though I ended up with exactly 75% average UMS in my maths AS (76/75/74), I hold a special place of hatred for C1.

Personally, I opted for "sulking until I had to revise and use past papers", but this year I've found, oddly enough, that MyMaths is actually really good for A-level resources. The online lessons are pretty useful.

I don't know your exam board, but OCR MEI textbooks have a little round up at the end of each chapter. Give that a read, and make notes from it. A lot of the maths I was struggling with just seemed to..... make sense after that.
A couple others I've seen recommended but not got round to trying myself;

Your textbook may do a little chapter summary, I wouldn't know, but it's definitely worth looking at.

Another poster suggested hegartymaths, which I think is geared towards the Edexcel spec.

WOAH!
That looks good!
Use examsolutions.net can't recommend it highly enough.

Also stick at it, C1 becomes easier once you improve your algebra skills through practice.
