Here's the exam directory thread for this year, I see there's no non Mei exam threads yet.. I guess this is it :tongue:

Good luck for this!

You're doing M1? You got a lucky escape from S1 then, let me tell you.

C1 exam last year I heard was one b*tch of an exam. So I'm a little wary on that. But overall it feels pretty easy?
C2 seems okay. I was a little rocky with it, but getting there. Pretty decent exam too.

But S1...S1. S bloody 1. Don't get me started on the sheer horror and terror that is Statistics. It's extremely hard, very uninteresting and lacks usefulness. S1 makes me aggressive..

Anyhow...enjoy your M1...

Goodness, lol.

Some love the applied modules and some hate em, i personally hate them. But i rather be doing s1 since alot of questions can be checked, whereas one feels completely un-confident doing an m1 paper, atleast thats what i think

I wonder if last years c1 paper was hard, would this years be easy....hmmm.. :l

AH, well I haven't done M1 so I guess I can't really make a judgement on it. I don't know though, it sounds more useful than Stats?

Anyhow, good luck for the exams!!

haha, it really is!

It's the permutations & Combinations stuff that makes me want to punch a wall. Really hard.

What are you aiming for in your S1?

Believe me, its really not. Stats is very very useful in terms of probability and taxes, money handling, etc etc... mechanics is useless as it is the raw basics
