I've decided on c1-4, m1, s1 for maths and fp1-3 for fm... I need 3 more modules :smile: its A LOT of hard work doing this much maths during the summer tbh. How many hours should I spend a day? i don't plan to do anything else, other than read through the head start books (which i'll buy tomorrow). I really want to get c1,c2,s1 done; just don't know how lmuch time i'll need? Rough estimate please 😋


C1 can be done in a week, C2 probably the same or slightly more, S1 can be done in a few days seeing as a significant portion of it is in the GCSE syllabus

Thank you ☺️
Are you asian?
Do you go to a private school?
No worries
No, I just like Maths ahaha
Yeah I do
Is anyone here starting/ finished their A Level Chemistry and Biology? If so, could anyone reference/ recommend a chemistry and biology textbook other than the CGP book?

It took me roughly 1-2 weeks to do C1...
I would say 3hrs a day of practice/ procrastinating over the holidays, whatever strategy suits you best...
I've just finished Edexcel Maths, Aqa Chemistry and Aqa Biology. Exam solutions is awesome for maths. The CGP textbooks were all I needed for Biology and Chemistry. I also had the Oxford book for chemistry and Nelson Thornes for Biology but I never looked at these one I discovered CGP book.

Another thing I heavily relied for Chemistry were these incredibly detailed and condensed notes Chemrevise.org

Finally YouTube erintoul aqa Chemistry and you'll find some awesome videos teaching you it all. Have a look at them if you want a head start.

Thanks - but have you ever compared the CGP against the oxford and Nelson Thornes?
