M1-3 June 2014

Hi, I'll be trying my luck on M1 this June... Could you give me some advice on how to prepare efficiently for this exam?

will be sitting m1&2 in June. I'm just finishing off m2 now - started it last Wednesday - and I must say that it all seems remarkably straightforward.
I too considered m3, but chickened out after seeing the CoM calculations. I'm gonna do s2 instead.

Ooh lovely. I self studied M2 in 2days last week. I've been sick since starting half term but am planning on doing a pastpaper tonight for wither Fp2 or M2 and then making a start on M3 and S2.


Maybe give M3 another consider? I did M1 twice and did badly in it .

heh, you're quick! I have no experience with m1 (haven't actually looked at the book lol) but i figured that if I could do m2 everything would be fine.
wish I were doing fp2 (school recommended fp3 so i just went with it), there's something so awesome about using eulers.

you studying maths at uni?

I'm doing M2 and M3 this June. Not particularly happy with M3 being my earliest maths exam.

I wasn't quick this time "lol:
Lol. Good luck with that. M2 is no harder than M1. Just different topics. Feel free to check out my Fp1-3 thread.


Why?

I just started learning it 2 weeks ago. Which means I won't get as much "time" compared to my other exams to practice as I did M2 first it meant I had around from November to June to practice.

Oh, that's fair. A lot of people will be in a similar position so don't fret.
How far into it are you?

I've done
Further Kinematics
Elastic Springs and Strings
Circular motion

I haven't done
Further Dynamics
Statics of rigid bodies

I'm finding it a bit more difficult than M2 and it's the algebra which can get a little nasty at times.

Oh that's bad. Do you know the necessary pure?

Yup . Have you decided on doing M3?

...

Your sig is huge! Have you not received one of those patronisingly pretentious cards yet?

No. I'm not very well liked on the forum for obvious and unknown reasons.

Why? I thought it was the total opposite by glancing at your VMs every so often when I myself send you one.
