I think he was just trying to belittle all you A-Level students discussing the logistics of getting an A* in Maths/Further :lol:


:erm: no one was saying it was hard. If anything we were talking about making it harder...

No one claimed to be a maths genius anyway so...

I'm belittled :hide:

Mechanics is the easiest - so logical and tidy (and completely unrepresentative of reality). Stats, on the other hand, is just number crunching and so dull.


I agree with this! I dropped a load of marks in M2 but still way prefer the mechanics to the stats or the pure! Probably why I'm applying for physics...!

Me? :rofl:

1) I'm in year eleven
2) I'm not applying for Maths
3) I probably won't apply to Oxford

So I don't think so :h:

I was trying to belittle the exam boards for being so soft.

I can't really say without knowing you, but maybe you need to make sure that you put more work into topics that you don't understand so well or something like that :smile:
