I do exactly the same modules as you in A2 Further, but am doing FP3 as extra as well :smile: haha I have the same problem with teachers not knowing how to do it & I've got the integral maths thing too, though I haven't found anything particularly useful on it yet:frown:


oooh, nice!! Which exam board are you on? I was going to do some FP3 but I really don't think I have time. I'm planning to look over it in the summer instead :smile:

I haven't looked on it much yet, though the STEP solutions look like they'll be useful. I'll have a proper look tomorrow!

AQA & yeah, to be honest I haven't looked at STEP thoroughly yet and so I haven't felt the need to look at integralmaths

Omg I'm on AQA too!! What's your fave module? I think mine has to be M2 (mechanics is lovelyyy), then I guess S2 as it's not as hard as the others, and FP2 is definitely the hardest. I enjoy FP2, but if I don't regularly re-visit the topics, then when I get to a question I seem to forget it all haha

Yaay! I think FP2 is my fave, I love pure maths! Out of the applied modules M2 is my favourite, I hate stats and D1&2 were just rubbish haha

I also find FP3 interesting but it is quite difficult 😂

Stats is extremely dull, though somehow I do okay in it? (maybe I've just jinxed my mock results, which I find out tomorrow oops). The same with D1. I actually quite liked some of D2, somewhat therapeutic haha. What's the applied module you're doing for maths? I'm doing stats 1 rip

We have the same name, same firm uni (are you firming Warwick?), same exam boards and same modules - we must be twins! (though not identical as you're not this ugly lol)

Just in case people don't know about this, here is a great resource to prepare for the STEP papers:

Awesome! I haven't firmed it yet as I was waiting until I was certain about my insurance choice (so I could just sort them out together - I chose Leeds in the end). What's your insurance choice? I was actually going to choose Bath, but after looking into the course it really didn't appeal to me.

I haven't gotten my maths mocks back yet, though my physics and history ones were....quite terrible. Earlier I was just thinking "omg noooo I'm not going to get into Warwick" before my friends were like "shut up, you've got this!! they're mocks!!" Man, year 13 is stressful af :lol:

Ahh okay & Birmingham is my insurance. I've just spent about 90 minutes doing some of the questions in the Siklos booklet and they weren't too bad (though I think they were like the first few questions on a paper!)

Ooh, my sixth form leader bought me that! I've had a read of the first couple of pages, but not questions. I may start that this weekend, if I get some more of my history coursework done! My friend is going to firm Birmingham, I think. And that's progress!! :smile:

p.s. I just got an email saying that I have a place for the 2 day STEP course!! :biggrin:
