Did bad in m1, can I still get a B?

I've retaken c1, c2 and s1 and have just had my m1 paper. For c1 and c2 I (hopefully) have gotten an A, probably an A/B for statistics but M1 I think I got a B/C (maybe even a D!) what would I need to get in c3 and c4 to still get a B?

Depends on what UMS you get for each module, but assuming you got a solid A in C1 and C2, a solid B in S1 and a solid C in M1, you would get a low B overall.

Ah alright, so would I also need to get a b or higher in c3 and c4 then?

Overall ums in maths is 600.
For a B you need 420.
If you got borderline AAA in C1 and C2 and S1
That is 240ums
If yu got borderline C in M1 that is 60 ums
Therefore you need 420-240-60=120 ums
120/2 = 60
So that means you need to get borderline C in C3 and C4
Provided that you got AAAC in C1, C2, S1 and M1

Thank you! I'm going to push for an A in both papers but I've never been naturally good at maths (more of a science girl) so I'd be over the moon with a B!
Wish you the best with your revision as well!
