    Right, so if I genuinely enjoy maths and have got an A* in it and am expected to get an A* in FM but am not as good as those who have say applied to Cam/War and thus are good at STEP and so on will I still be able to cope with MA103 ?
    You should easily be able to cope with it if you put in a little bit of work in my opinion. I didn't really do much work in terms of revision, just paid a bit of attention in lectures and classes and managed to get a low 2.1. (As a vague reference I got A* in Maths and FM A level, and scraped passes in STEP II and III)

    It's quite heavily theory based...so there's quite a bit of definitions, theorems, proofs, etc to learn, but very manageable.

    You'll be absolutely fine for MA103. Lots of my friends who did MA103 just did bogstandard Further Maths and that was it.

    And of course, remember to panic about EC102!
