Duuuh

Yeah they can be really hard but don't worry about it honestly - try and break the problem down and think about what information you have, and what equations you know that can help you get to the next step, and that's another thing knowing your equations is a very big part of m1!
That's annoying, I hate teachers like that listen if you've ever got a specific example I'm more than happy to try and help you out if you wanted to PM me any time also I really recommend the website examsolutions.net it's soo good he explains things really well!
The main thing is don't panic, you can do it as well there's numerous maths threads on here and I'm sure people would always want to help!

aww thats so lovely of you, thank you! I'm currently trying to do my 2 C3 papers which are in for homework sigh... I loved IGCSE maths but A level maths has just ruined everything! I use exam solutions but not for M1, will try that next time thanks!

I feel your pain. I revised C3 thoroughly and am now finally scoring consistently good in past papers. However, mechanics makes me and I study Physics. In Mechanics 1, you either understand or don't understand what is involved.
I'm planning on focusing from Jan-early March on M1 since abstract maths takes longer to understand than straightforward core modules.

How did you persuade your college to let you resit all of your AS modules? My college only lets us resit 1 module but 2 at the most. I'm in a similar boat to you since I'm resitting C2+S1 + A2 maths = 5/6 exams whereas your sitting 6/6 maths module exams.

Have you seen how tightly packed the exams are? I'm only concerned at S1(5th June) & M1(3rd June) as they require opposite skills whereas core modules are easy since they are synoptic papers. What subjects do you study besides Maths?
I'm studying Maths, Physics & History. What are you applying to study at uni?

No problem at all! Yeah I'm doing a C3 paper too, I'd overlooked it tbh got my mock in a few weeks don't worry I promise it gets better,up until easter last year I struggled like hell with M1&2 but ended up getting an A in further maths, anything is possible

Honestly i feel so fed up with maths, it just went downhill from last year I initially got an E in AS but i got it remarked to a D which isn't any better but its better for my uni prediction.. sigh. Cried for days over it because i was so shocked at my grade. Never felt like such a failure in life! I just hope i can pull my grade up with this years resits :l and thats an amazing grade! bet you worked really hard for it though

Aww don't say that A Levels are difficult! A D at A level is an A* at GSCE.
Of course you can, hard work & determination make good results aw thankyou! Yeah especially with mechanics !

Oh and I'm planning to study human geography at uni! how about you? I'm guessing something like engineering?

I'm planning on studying Physics at Uni. Haha, many would have thought so as-well but it engineering just didn't float my boat.

How many exams do you have in total w/resits?
I'm resitting both AS Physics & C2/S1 just for the extra marks as you can never know how well you'll perform in your A2 exams as they are harder.

You looking forward to uni?

Utterly awful, yet impressive at the same time how they're in unison...

In case any of you have doubted yourself that 1+1=2, here's a proof

My f maths teacher once showed us a proof that 1=2

Here's a proof that 3=0


Do you know how this sort of thing works? I explained it to Fishy once, wonder if he can remember

Creating false solutions or something?

Can't create a higher power equation
