Time required for S1 Preparation ?

Hey Everyone .

So , i have already taken 2 modules ( M1 and C12 ) in June 2017 and officially through school , i have to take C34 and S1 in June 2018 but i was thinking to take S1 in January 2018 . ( test date is 18th January ) so , basically i wanted to ask is it a wise decision if i sit for S1 in jan 2018 and C34 ( which is the main paper ) in june 2018 ?

Like can i prepare whole S1 from scratch in 2 months considering i can give it 2-3 hours each day ?

Yeah very much so. My best advice would be to do as many past papers as possible. Also do histograms because it hasn't come up in recent years

S1 is one of the easier modules, you could do it in a couple of days if you really wanted to. 2 hours a day for 2 months is more than enough

Can you give evidence of that date. I'm pretty sure that January exams were scrapped a few years ago.
Definitely, S1 is very easy and specially if you give 2-3 hours every day!! Make sure to look up past papers
