I would say the core maths is a bit of a jump. It's similar to what you have experienced for GCSE to AS Level.

The mechanics and stats material tend to be relatively simple. The difficult part is the application, and that's where you need the most practice. In terms of difficulty, the material is about AS level.

That sounds better then though. The stuff I've seen in my revision guide looked quite complicated. Thanks for confirming !
