Is it me is or C4 harder than the other exams by quite a lot? :P

No, I'd say it's at the same level with C3. Mechanics is way harder though.

C3 is straightforward. C4 is more challenging but not impossible.

The only time consuming part in mechanics is drawing the diagrams otherwise
it is simple. (at m1 but alot harder in the later mechanics modules when DEs are involved)

C4 is no less straightforward from my experience. I find M2 to be killer though.

I have a natural preference for pure maths; objectively speaking I'd say C3 is easier than M2 is easier than C4, but it's just my opinion.

C4 is generally the hard unit and with regular practice especially for integration and vectors you should be fine!

Yea i have to admit I find vectors and integration the most difficult part of C4. This is mainly because in integration there are so many methods and its hard to find which one is the correct one to use :P

Hahah well it seems we both have good taste in subjects :wink:

really? that late?? or are you one of those amazing people who doesn't have to revise maths after just doing the lessons and get 100%?? :P

Substitution, u=2t+1.

How exactly could you obtain V in terms of t from this?

Integrate both sides

Basically means when you're a pro at integration and you can spot things straight away without doing substitutions.

Don't worry if you can't do this though, I'm a second year at uni and I still can't. :colondollar:
