How many past papers would you say is enough for a module in maths

How many marks out of 75 is generally considered 100% UMS and how many is considered 95% UMS?

If you've got them from elsewhere, has the website removed that information?

The original Bronze, Silver and Gold papers as put together by Graham and Mark at Edexcel have the suggested grade boundaries on the front, from which you can work out your UMS.

That looks really good!

I should have done this.

STEP doesn't exactly make FP2 easy in the same way as e.g. C1. At least for me, C1 is easy because I can breeze through a paper without actually thinking; FP2 is easier than STEP because I know roughly how to answer each question, not because actually doing so is trivial.

Why hasn't Graham done any for later modules like M3-5, S3-4 and FP2-3? Is it due to the lack of demand?

Are IAL papers generally harder than normal past papers? It felt slightly harder and took me about 20 minutes more than a standard C4 paper

Really? Do you do all three STEP's? I can autopilot through an FP2 paper as easily as a C1 paper thanks to STEP (III).

@EnglishMuon suggested that I do some STEP mechanics questions which has really helped my understanding for some topics I didn't feel comfortable in,
and essentially has improved my timing in M1, M2 mechanics papers. I don't know how much it'll help, but it sure has helped me. By the way, you should aim to have done most of the review and mixed exercises in the book particularly for the mechanics modules - this will essentially help you go through past papers very quickly with little trouble aiming for 100%.

Hey maths people,
What's a good method for revising maths? I'm aiming for the same as the OP, around 95% UMS for C1, C2 and S1. These are the only modules I do so I'm not really very mathematical - how do you guys revise to get top marks?

I'd advise looking at the MAT if you haven't covered C1-4 yet but have only covered C1-2 as PanickingYear12 has.

Even though you may not think you are very mathematical, challenging yourself with some of the easier STEP I questions will really help. This is because the act of struggling will help your problem solving skills (even if it feels very hard at the time!) so when they ask nontrivial questions in your C1,2 exams, you will understand the topic enough to work them out yourself. I noticed that this was a widespread problem for people last year- they were used to completing the same questions just with different numbers shoved in so in the exam when they asked something slightly different they lost marks. I doubt you'd find it that bad yourself since you seem proactive and determined but hopefully this can help (essentially what Marxist said , thanks for tagging me)

Haha, I was looking for the categorised questions.

Have you seen the categorised list of STEP II questions I put up a few weeks ago?

There is no number that's enough, that's not how it works. You do as much practice as you need to get the grades you want. The sensible thing is to do every paper that's available to you, you certainly have the time for that.

Nope, can you link me?
