C3 and C4 are difficult for most people as well as the further maths modules.

C4 is the most challenging of the six you will do for the A-level.

C3 is simply a furthering of the stuff you learn in C2 but isn't that hard. (in my syllabus OCR MEI anyway)

I did Maths a year early and I cruised through. Pity I'v forgotten half of the stuff I learnt last year already.

Depends, people who got A* at GCSE easily found AS & A2 Maths straightforward too; on the other hand people who had just about managed an A* did quite badly (Cs and Ds...). But I don't think it's too difficult if you are a mathsy person.

O dear, I just got the A*. Then again so did everyone else, apart from my friend who got top 5 lol. That's strange tho... maybe it's a phychological, perhaps ppl who just manage to get them don't actually think they have to work that hard anymore.

At least I'm wary now, thanks =)

I don't think how well you do at GCSE determines how well you will do at A-Level. I know people that got A*s at GCSE and failed miserably in the early modules of AS, had to do many retakes, taking it lightly. I know guys that got B's at GCSE coming out with top grades at A-Level. Even at A-Level its about hard-work and determination. As long as you got a B or above, i'd say an A is a very achievable target if you're willing to work. Thats from my experience :smile:

Sorry, didn't mean to scare you! :smile:

Make sure you understand concepts as you go along, rather than leaving it and hoping it will sort itself out, and do LOADS of practice questions. In Maths practice makes perfect, especially as questions are very repetitive each year. Good luck.

I thought C3 was the hardest, but all of the modules are pretty doable. My marks were about the same on each one.

My marks are improving as I go on weirdly enough. =s

I did the worst in C1 (79) Okish in Stats (83) and a lot better in C2 (95).

Looks like full marks in my A2 modules lol =P

The harder the modules, the lower the grade boundaries. So if you are fairly competent in all your maths, you are more likely to get higher marks in the A2 units.
