I did M1 this year and have hopefully done well. However I see no reason why I should take a harder module when you can take an easier one. Is there any reason to take M2 over S1, considering that although S1 is boring it is an AS module so should be more straightforward? Edexcel btw
EDIT: Probably should've added a poll at the start but oh well

M2 is not that hard and S1 is incredibly dull. I'd go M2

I appreciate that S1 will be far more boring, its one of the reasons I took M1 for AS. But I don't really care too much about enjoyment and just want to pick the one which would be easier to get high ums in. Surely that's S1?

S1 is bull****ting and see if the markscheme agrees with you

M2 is more fun but S1 is easy af. S1 is little above GCSE in terms of difficulty I'd say, plus there's lots of overlap with GCSE. I think you should go for S1 if you're looking for UMS. Also exam boards can ask real nasty questions on M2.

Statistically speaking I'm 99% certain it isn't

I pretty much cant do M2. S1 was a breeze for me it's just straightforward (but everyones like that I think, it's either mechanics or stats, not both).
If you want UMS, go for S1. Otherwise, it's up to you based on what you find fun.

The content probably requires the least knowledge out of any maths module, it's fun, it's practical, grade boundaries can be awfully high but it's not toooo bad for getting high UMS.

Exam boards do ask nasty questions on M2, that exam the other day really took the biscuit.

Is it really that bad? I've not looked into the content in too much detail but how bad can stats be
