Core 4 Vectors - Help?! :(

I'm having quite a bit of trouble with the vectors questions in Core 4. I think it's mainly because we spent barely any time on it in class (no one else in the class seemed particularly sure about it either). Is there anywhere I can go (online) to re-learn all this? Any revision sheets that explain all the rules? Thanks

To teach myself fp1.

Nothing for Stats I'm afraid but here are some for Further Maths.
The textbook isn't very helpful for exam questions.

Learn/remember:
- Triangle law, magnitude, unit vector, easy stuff etc
- Dot product and angle between two vectors - they like asking you to find a vector perpendicular to another [therefore]
- Vector equation of a straight line

Also, always draw a diagram. Do questions from past papers - textbook stuff isn't that helpful for once in Edexcel maths
