Edexcel: M3 - What are the exams like in comparison to the book?

Scroll to see replies

M4/M5 not taking the exams as I don't like the date of M4 and there's not much point sitting M5 if I'm not sitting M4.

M3 I'm taking as an extra because I think I have a shot at full.

That way I get a free "get out of jail free" card if I muck up another module - easy substitution in to get rid of the bad one :biggrin:

Ah, okay so it's like me and S3. :colondollar:

People think I'm absolute bonkers for doing 7 but S3 isn't really much more difficult than S2 so I don't mind it.

Tbh, I think you'll do fine in M3. The gate out of jail card is reserved for FP3 in my case. :redface:

I'm also going to have to agree with you

Oooh nice

I'm doing 4 (M/FM/Ph/Ger)

But I'm retaking a German paper and I did a Physics paper already, and also taking M3 as an extra

Wbu?

Math,FM,Chem,Phy, G.S. and AFM AS. And STEP 1.

I dont have the motivation nor the time to do a language to an A2. And I got a meagre A in gcse german :/

I was going to do the full 6, but the exam dates are pathetic, and I have enough clashes as it is without, C4 S4, C3 M5 clahsing etc.

tbh fm isn't that bad. Only FP2 FP3 M2 M3 are the challegning modules imo

Don't worry I got an A too :frown:

Yeah I agree they really don't do a good job at spreading them out.

I think yeah FP2/3 are challenging, M3 is challenging and some parts of M2

How was SAT?

It was non-existent. Missed the train :/

Will do the three subjject tests in May now.

Was so confident in getting 800 in maths, but I wasn't ready for english.

Will have to do the new SAT, where the maths looks harder and eng is easier, shuld be better for me I imagine.

what I found was that chungs was too hard

barrons was ideal

princeton was easy

kaplan was a joke

And I have missed someone off haha

SAT is such a businesses entity, they must have billions of dollars in their cofferes.

Hello there,
I posted previously on this forum in regards to M3, saying I'm finding chapter 2 difficult. I was just wondering, are the exam questions anything like the questions in the book? Are the exam questions easier?
