8 exams , so a fairly decent amount compared to some of my mates who have like 10+ lol :smile:

i actually think C2 and C1 are gonna be easier than S1....

hahaha i made the clever move and dropped all sciences :wink: people in my school did science exams in January and pretty much most of them came out between C's and E's - heard they were quite hard !

yeah C1 is a walk in the park , C2 i think the only thing i struggle on is those " show that " questions when you have to show that a formula works ( part of the diffrentiation chapter ) but aslong as it's not a cylinder/sphere or anyother circular object i think i can do it !

for S1 it's probability. I hate probability so much , and it's definitely my weakest part for S1 - all the others im fine with.

Yeh man i know what you mean :smile: C1 is amazingly simple :smile: C2 aint that bad but yeh differentiation can trip you up and i reckon that also geometric series are questions were you can easily lose marks :smile: in S1 its Normal distribution :frown: i find probability generally simple but normal distribution is tricky man!!
