Fp1, C1, D1, M1. I'm guessing most are also taking fp2 fp3 but I am taking those next year. Sometimes questions require you to know c3 and c4 but I hope none of those come up this year

I hadn't even consodered someone doing FP4 without C3/C4 but now I think about it it is possible.
I think double angle formulae come up failry often though.

Has anyone done the june 2014 paper? I didn't find it so bad. IMO the jan 2012 is still the hardest.

Yes but look at its grade boundaries.

Yeah I know they are just too high. The mark scheme was also really not generous to try and limit some of marks.

Good luck with FP4! I took M3 at ASlevel without C3, C4 or M2, which in hindsight may not have been the best choice, but it was interesting to skip ahead like that. Hope you do well and enjoy it. :smile:

There's nothing in M3 that requires C3/C4 or M2.

Sitting this paper for AS. Core 2 on the same day for me also. It's definitely the one I score least UMS on out of my 9 exams but it's still reasonable. Hopefully they don't give us a hard paper since last year's was nice.

Hey there good to see someone else in the same boat as I am. What time is fp4 for you? I'm doing at 11 am just after c2

None of the techniques do, although sometimes C3/4 calculus and C4 vectors are used in questions, or could be used to do them faster. Also, the circular motion formulae from M2 can appear in dimensional consistency questions, so it's useful to know those as well.

We've been told that we have to sit them straight away. I get the choice between which exam I do first but only have a five minute break into between. Probably going to go for Core 2 first to get fired up.
