I've always been pretty rubbish at maths, got a C at GCSE which I took in 2004 and have subsequently forgotten EVERYTHING that it involved.
Yet, and call me crazy, I'd like to self-teach A level maths next year.
How hard is it really? Do you think I'd be able to do this, or would it just be too difficult? How much of GCSE maths would I need to know in order to do it, or would it be possible to learn the A level without remembering much of the GCSE?
I'm going to be self-teaching another, much easier, A level along with it but I will only be working part-time so I'll have a fair amount of time to concentrate on it.
But I still don't know if that's enough... I don't know if I'd be able to afford a tutor, maybe just for the couple of weeks/months before the exam but I'd probably use a company such as Oxford Open Learning or ICS so wouldn't be totally on my own.
Soooo, anyway. Good/bad idea? Worst idea you've ever heard? Opinions please.
