Anyone sitting Maths C1 to C4 this summer??

Is there anyone else out there who is sitting all 4 cores for A-level Maths this summer? How are you coping?

I'm doing C1-3 this year alongside further maths but not C1-4, how comes you've decided to???
I am!
Resitting C1 & C2 from last year to up my UMS.
The exams are only in a few weeks! I think I need to get a few more papers done, then some solomon questions and I should be about ready :smile:

I'm sitting C1 to C4 because I'm resitting my AS units (C1 and C2) to try and boost my grade :smile:

Yes I'm the same! I want to try and do better than I did last year! I haven't really done many past papers for C1 and C2 yet though, hopefully I can still remember how to apply things like the cosine rule and geometric series etc! :frown:
I am resitting C2 in order to boost my overall UMS!

AS UMS:
C1: 97
C2: 75:frown:
S1: 89

Overall A

Is anyone finding C2 easier after having done C3/C4?
Okay guys Im resitting c1 and c2 and doing c3 and c4. I feel relatively unprepared for c1 and c2 and I'm worried, c1 I can do easily without revision (but need to go over sequences) but c2 is another story. Should I just redo past papers, I'm just revising for everything else that I keep forgetting too and I don't want to do worse

Still really good! Any advice for someone who is also resitting C1 and C2?

Yeah C1 definitely becomes much easier after learning C3 and C4!

Yeah I feel that Core 2 is becoming so much easier, I wish that I focused on Maths more than French last year though as I did pretty bad in AS Maths which is why I'm retaking C1 and C2 as well as C3, C4 and D1.

AS UMS:
C1: 73
C2: 48
S1: 64

Overall C

I felt really ill on S1 which is a shame because normally I would be getting 90+ UMS, but I'm hoping to score 100 UMS on both C1 and C2 as, while difficult to do, is still possible as I'm trying to revise loads this year, I'm hoping to get an A for Loughborough University :biggrin:

I'm not resitting btw. I'm teaching myself by the book and through a few YouTube vids online.

So I've mainly been working hard for C3 and C4 but am doing resits for C1 and C2. I haven't really done much revision for my resits though. I've noticed that a lot of the content that is covered in C3 and C4 is carried on from the previous two modules with the exception of a few topics! Does anyone have any advice on what I need to specifically revise for C1 and C2 for the topics that aren't covered at A2?
