Pfft, Im sat here with my revision books all over doing last minute revision for the C1 and C2 papers im sitting tomorrow.
For GCSE I didn't find maths "easy" - I was in the top set, but was never anywhere near the best, but ended up with an A*- one of the three A*'s I got for GCSE.
Unfortunately I didn't start off A Level Maths well, skipped a piece of homework here and there, and before I knew it I was 2 chapters behind, got a U in the mock and was deep in the shit. Took a lot of hard graft to get myself out of that one, and without a doubt my final grade will have suffered because of my stupidity at the beginning of the year.
However, I enjoy maths a lot- it's one of my favourite subjects, but i'm not the best of it- some of the concepts in M1 seem to have been made up by a 2 year old kid with no understanding of how life works in general, let along mechanics.
The book we were learning from (MEI Pure Mathmatics for C1 and C2 (green and purple front cover)), was crap at explaining things, however these revisions books I got ("Core for OCR") explain things in much better ways, so you can attack questions using two different approches.
So yeah- 3 weeks ago I would have said "yes, its a steep learning curve"- but now i've got these revision books i > MEI AS Level Maths (lets see if i'm still saying that a) after the exam, and b) when my results come back
)
Edit- + good look shem and all others doing Maths (or any other subject
), tomorrow morning
