Hey.
I'm a year 12 studying maths A-level. I didn't choose FM at the start of the year and by the time I had realized how big of a mistake that was, it was too late for anyone to do anything about it. I've been offered AS FM next year by my head of Maths (provided I meet a certain grade), but I'll probably try to organise an accelerated course to do both years regardless.
Here's my current dilemma: for the past 7 months I have been stuck with C1, C2 and S1. It's depressing. I feel as though I'm not getting into the interesting area of maths; 70% of the stuff I'm doing now is just difficult GCSE. I've completed every single mock on the MEI website for my respective modules (I was supposed to have finished a few days ago but the MEI website was down), and let's just say I haven't had any troubles whatsoever.
Now I'm in a state of limbo -- there's no more practise to be had, and even if there were, the motivation isn't there any more. My revision has consisted of the same routine calculations which stem from the same routine questions, albeit with slight differences in wording. Most of my friends are learning about cool FP1 stuff and fish distributions, and I'm just sitting here writing posts like this.
Does anyone have any suggestions to 'brighten up' my maths? I browse the STEP thread every now-and-then and see really beautiful, intuitive maths being used there from the little I can understand. Calculus especially just seems to get better and better. I'm on the brink of focusing 100% of my time to chemistry, which isn't something I really want to do.
