Hi
I'm currently in the middle of taking AS Maths, CIE board, with S1 (compulsory). What do you I should pick for my A2 module, M1 or S2, based on the ideas of
1. Which is easier to gain top marks in (content wise and exam question wise)?
2. Which would be more helpful in medicine?

N.B. I am finding S1 fine, and I am taking Physics, and I do enjoy Mechanics but am worried that the exam is much harder than in S2. Again note that this is the CIE board.

Thanks!

Both papers are fair enough for you to score maximum marks. But since you are doing Physics, I'll advice you to opt for M1 since this will help you save time for revision as while revising Physics, you'll be revising for Mechanics as well ;)

I've just started my MBBS and I assure you that Physics does not form part of any module apart perhaps Biophysics which is however not compulsory ;)

So in any case you'll not be needing anyone of them, i.e neithe M1 nor S1 :P

Good luck! :)
