I found the final parts of P5 harder/more tedious than P6.

at the moment im thinking the integration in P5 is the thing most tedious, but not that far thru P6 so sumthin else may annoy me in that.overall probs they are maybe the same standard-ish

In P5 i disliked the coordinate geometry chapter the most.
Some of the loci questions were good but some involved fiddling with letters for 15mins in order to correctly simplify/solve the expressions which i didn't enjoy very much.

well actually, for me, i found that p5 coordinate systems is the hardest thing, p6 is long and contains some new things like " matrix algebra " but p5 is hard.

I hope P6 will be less stultifying than P5. The P5 intensive integration practice is useful, but somewhat tiring. There is less variation (so interest) in P5 than in previous modules. I've glanced through P6, and suspect it will be more stimulating than P5...

P5 without any questioning...... P5 requires good knowlage of all previous modules whereas P6 is all new. :biggrin:

P6 = Easy peasy :wink:

P5 = Dam hard :s-smilie:

Of course it is. :biggrin:

I'd say that (in MEI) P5 is harder too, as it seems to involve applying knowledge from the earlier modules more than P6. I actually ended up getting 10 marks harder in my P6 mock than my P5 mock. They're both pretty interesting though. :smile:
