After talking to my exams officer (I'm a private candidate) I'm changing my units. I am replacing FP1 with S1. Now I need a unit to replace FP3. I obviously have S2, D1 or M1. Anyone have any advice on which I would take?
S2 follows on from S1.... it is not all that hard really.
If you like physics then M1 would work.
If algorithms are your bag the D1...
Thanks for your reply. I'm not really into physics so I think I'll give M1 a miss. Not sure about algorithms so I'm gonna have to look into that.
S2 may be the way to go. I've got to learn these two modules from scratch for may 2018 exams. I've nearly finished C4 so hopefully I have time to learn them and get enough revision in.
Obviously it's personal preference but I'm a private candidate and chose D1. I'm also studying computer science and it had a lot of similarities between them which was good! It includes things like finding the shortest route using algorithms and so on. Let me know if you have any other questions about it
I've watched through jack Brown's course on YouTube and d1 actually looked interesting so I'm gonna do them.
Thanks for everyone's help
Just be warned that a lot of D1 questions are "all-or-nothing". If you screw up something in an early part of the question, you may not even be able to attempt the later parts. If you make careless mistakes, D1 is not the module to do. But it's fun and the algorithms are quite easy to learn.

If you arent into physics then M1 is definitely not yours.
im not wanting an as or a2 level in further maths. I was doing a level pure maths and found the content too much. I'm enjoying the d1 module I'm working through at the moment.
