Further Pure mathematics compared to C1-4

So i've done C1-4 and going to do FP1-2 in June.
Wanted to know how much more difficult are they compared to the core 1-4 ones?

Thanks in advance.

So M3 is not *that* much of a monstrosity then? Interesting. I found Fp3 much nicer than Fp2. Still do actually.

Does that thing say FP1 is easier than S1..?

it does

Does that thing say FP1 is easier than S1..?

not my personal opinion

It probably is tbf. Fp1 is rather straight forward.



I see.

What's the rating given by?

not entirely sure as I got this a while back in a seminar

In my opinion, if FP1 is straight forward, S1 is child's play

I got 78 in S1 and 94 in Fp1 for the same amount of non-work. Fp1 requires no new skills really whereas for me in S1 there was a lot to remember and I hated the module.

I think S1 is a badly structured module and contains a lot of unnecessary things. I'm similar to you in my module scores for both. (although having checked with the model answers, I'm fairly sure I'd have upped my S1 mark had I been able to afford a remark - besides the point.) Anyway the reason I say it's easier is that S1 is more remembering silly little things the "examiner" wants to see in the answer (referring to the worded responses). Whereas in FP1, I think lower sets would struggle because it is highly based on understanding. If you get FP1, you will do well in FP1. If you get S1, you'd better say whatever the examiner is looking for in your subjective answers to do well in S1.

I see. We'll have to agree to disagree. I didn't think there was much to Fp1. The hard bit would be proof by induction as I never got how to conclude .

I don't remember much of S1 but it felt like there were a million things to remember which were badly structure as you say.

I agree with some of the rest of it. The only other disagreement is that I feel that C4 is really close to C3 in terms of difficulty. I don't think there's such a jump.
