madasmaths is good to practice hard questions
use youtube vids and textbook to learn content
if you find anything hard, ask your teacher
its all abt practice, the more practice and the more time spent learning, the faster you can finish it

its possible but could be hard depending on your aptitude

It really does have some brilliant resources on it that are still very relevant. Here's one of many examples:

https://www.madasmaths.com/archive/maths_booklets/standard_topics/integration/integration_indefinite_mix.pdf

378 integrals along with solutions - in my opinion the best integration resource for students targeting the top grades.

It's not recommended anymore by any Maths teacher I know - it hasn't been updated enough for the new spec.

It is used by maths teachers all over the country and I can prove that with many examples. Just like most maths websites, students shouldn't solely use them to learn the content but there are lots of places where you can find great resources.

Do you not think the worksheet I posted above is an excellent resource for students revising integration?

No it's not as good as the resources Edexcel [via the Emporium] or Dr Frost provide.

maths is maths and the maths hasnt changed much in the past many years. i still find the questions useful to improve my problem solving skills for the real thing. as long as you use actual past paper questions too, madasmaths is very useful. it helps you to think mathematically regardless of the content in the spec

Sorry I disagree - the style of questions has changed dramatically over the years. Look back at old spec questions and you'll see. I have a collection of past papers back to the 1970s and I wouldn't use anything that old now in the classroom.

Obviously practicing exam style questions close to the real thing is very important but it’s not the only resource needed to learn and revise the content.

Or do your students only do exam style questions every lesson and for homework?

It's practising btw

We do a lot of problem solving as the newer papers do not scaffold as much as the older ones did. I get my resources from lots of places just not Madas these days. We get a very high % of A*s/As so I think it works well and Ofsted called us 'passionate' so that says a lot in my book.
