Maths and Further maths edexcel A-level preparation

Hi! I'm in year 11 awaiting my GCSE results, I'm expecting grades 6-9s. I am taking Philosophy aqa 7172, economics edexcel a, maths and further maths edexcel next year and EPQ. Could you give me any advice, links, preparation tasks, techniques etc. as I really want all A*s, it would be much appreciated. I want to do PPE or Phil + Theology at LSE or Oxford and want to go into Finance. (PLEASE MAKE THEM AS SUBJECT + EXAM BOARD SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE) many thanks x.
Hey! I've just finished maths and further maths edecxel a levels and would definitely recommend mad as maths as a source for extra exam papers. The textbooks are actually very good as well!

Right now though I would just completelyyy relax and forget about everything. I did no work over the summer of year 11 (other than pre work set by my college) and I have no regrets!

Hope this helps x

I'm predicted 4 A*s. I did further maths alongside normal maths so a lil different to you but I would still say don't worry about doing anyyything over this summer - the summer of year 12 would be a better time to have a peak at the further maths content.

I have a couple of friends who did 4 a levels plus an epq who have also been predicted top grades and I know for a fact that they wouldn't have done any work over the summer of year 11!
