Perhaps S1, S2, S3 and FP2 (or FP3) ? Probably the easiest combination (avoid mechanics)

It doesn't quite work like that - only pure modules are 'tied' to maths/further maths. Applied modules could go in either-

For Maths you have to take C3 and C4 and need 2 applied modules to get six altogether.

For F Maths you need FP1 and FP2 or FP3 plus others to make six modules.

Omg thank you so much!!
OCR MEI is a very difficult exam board for Maths. I do not know about Non MEI.

Your combination and for Edexcel sounds good.

S1 and S2 are not really linked apart from one topic, they are both easy (with enough practicr ) in different ways as they do not follow on from eachother that much.

I do not know if you mean new year as in January, but if so it may be possible. You have 4 months and if you are not studying anything else it should be fine, if you finish a module every 2 weeks or so. Its all about practice as well so make sure you do enough.

Good luck!

It was okay, just remember to keep practicing past paper questions!
How on earth did you get a good grade in FP1 but a B in M1?!

I guess you're left with little choice but to rack up the stats modules!
