I take C4, M2, M3, FP2, FP3, FP4 threads don't exist yet?
There are also core 3 videos on my Channel for Core 3.
Type in AZTutoring in the Youtube search box.
I am happy to do any requested videos, I am a student who has already completed my maths A level with a grade A, and looking to do Maths in University :smile:

How is everyone's revision going?

I'm up to the point where I can do C3 papers. My integration by parts and by substitution is weak though.

Everyone struggles with these at the beginning so you're not alone!

Maths revision for me is going quite well. Already done a fair amount of C3 and M2 past papers and I'm starting C4 papers this week!

I do S1. How's mechanics?

Yeah I think integration is the hardest part of C3. I just about remember all the rules now, just need to practice applying them.

I have my first full C4 mock tomorrow and don't have much idea how to do differential equations :confused:

Mechanics is my favourite maths module! It can be quite algebra heavy but it is more interesting than Core. I did S1 last year and gosh it was so dull, never again! :hand:

Ah good luck with that. You're quite a bit ahead of my class. Rest of my class is just half way through C4

Have tried last year's M2 paper? It was certainly interesting.

It was my mock in January! We hadn't covered the module in full yet so nobody finished the paper XD I didn't find it interesting (I was just frantically trying to do the questions, rather than admiring the questions!) but I didn't do as well certainly. I shall give it another go later having practiced a lot more!

It was my paper last year and it was interesting because I think the style of questions asked has changed over the past two or so years. I thought it was more difficult than previous years
