Maths A Level

Is it possible learn S1 and M1 in less the 40 days? I went over the book only a couple months ago but I completely forgot everything. I seriously don't remember how to do anything in M1. I do know some bits of S1 and what to do but M1 just seems like I've had a chunk of memory pulled out of my brain.

It is possible, but you should make sure you actually try to understand the content this time. If you've forgotten it all, it suggests that you just learnt the technique, but did not try to develop a thorough enough understanding of it.

They're not hard modules when you understand them, so I would suggest to make sure you go over the reasoning - and once you are confident with this move swiftly onto questions. But questions should be sources of practice and to help fill small gaps, not banks of knowledge.

I will try to. I find m1 so hard. I learnt c1-c4 this year independently and they're not too hard but m1 and s1 just seem hard to get my head round it.

i feel ya :frown: i've literally got 6 maths modules to revise and i don't have enough time cause I've doing 5 AS. Anyhow, i think it is possible. If you want to just revise then go on like exam solutions watch the videos. But most importantly isolate your weakest topic you mess up on and in the textbook do them in detail. The rest of the topic that you are most confident with just go over them. Try to do all the past papers.


Thank you I will do that. I too am doing modules for maths this year I'm doing an intensive a level maths self taught and just going on for exams. Good luck hope you do well.

Ah, perhaps try to watch a range of material. Different people explain concepts in different ways and listening to one topic being explained in a variety of ways may just provide you with the pieces to a jigsaw puzzle you can then put together.

Good luck. If you need help with any topics or questions, feel free to post on my profile or quote me. :smile:
