Many here think it is a panacea. Mind you some people rave about Khan Academy too.

Extremely good I needed it for the harder Mechanics 2 Centre of Mass questions involving angles to the vertical etc, which I found hard because I am not good at visualising.Shame the website doesn't cover all the modules.
I found it extremely helpful, personally. Why don't you just try it out for yourself? It's not like you have to sign up for it or pay anything.

There is a third free site that also have videos that I heard students talking about
Heggarty Maths
I do find ExamSolutions useful, except that there is nothing on Edexcel Module M3, as of today. That's all that's missing from it.
depends how you learn, although imo there is no better way to prep for exams than to understand the content and go through worked solutions

personally watching videos is my favourite way to learn, so give it a go and it might work for you too :smile:

I do not promote ever (disclaimer)

Students need to be given facts and hopefully they will make the right decisions.

Hegarty is also quite thin on the ground for material, especially when compared with ExamSolutions. They don't even have Mechanics M1. :frown:

Hegarty. The owner is an insufferable twerp (IMO) so I prefer not to promote that one.


:eek:

Why's that? Have you met him?

I've been unlucky enough to encounter him on the internet. Here is a typical outburst.


My gosh.. Wow. I'm left speechless :lol:

Would never have expected that :lolwut:

You are welcome.

Not for me, I prefer to do the stuff myself instead of following what they do because their methods can vary and be confusing, and I don't really learn from watching someone else do maths unless they are a teacher who can support your pace at the time.


Fair enough. personally I learn better when I watch videos :smile:

always try and mix

No product is perfect. Use a combination of resources

different books, different websites, different worksheets, different exam papers etc

good luck
