Hey Everyone (Salam)
I will be taking C3 in January inshAllah but since the C4 is too long and needs loads of practice and there isn't much time till Jan, I have decided to do it in June. in June I got 6 papers to do while in Jan ONLY 3 papers. Plus Over here we have Arabic and Islamic ministry exams (in April) that we MUST pass or else we don't graduate =,=. so I'd like to add one more paper in math in Jan (that is M2). Problem is that my BFF (did M2 last year) said that in M2 , information from C1 C2 C3 AND C4 are supposed to be well known by the student, and the student will be asked Questions from (C1-C4). No worries I'll take in Private lessons there ain't a problem in that , I just need someone who did Edexcel M2 to tell me if that information is right or not (really confused here :-\ :-X ), and is it a wise decision if I did it in Jan (that is rushing things if that's what it's called ::)) or should I just wait till June ?
Thanks in Advance =]

^ I'll PM you about the matter inshAllah.
May Allah bless you dear , I thought someone actually answered my query (which isn't the case :-\ :( ).

Although, I haven't taken Math for my A-levels. I strongly suggest that you shouldn't do M2 in Jan 2012.
First of all, you have 3 papers in Jan which trust me will be more than enough. ::)
I assume you are doing Chem 4, Phy 4 and C3. . .yes ?
Trust me, M2 will just be a burden on you with the rest 3 hanging along yer shoulder too.
God forbid but you don't wanna ruin yer grades in the rest 3, right ?
Just concentrate mainly in these cos they are vast and require lots of practice.
I advice you do M2 in June 2012, Insha Allah. (:
May Allah guide you to choose the best/right choice, Insha Allah.
Good luck. (:

Jazaki Allah khair :-*
if anyone else has advice for me please do let me know your suggestions/recommendations =]

I havent done M2 and I started M1 this year but so far from what I have heard, M2 is tough and more than M1. Since you have taken M1 already you can compare both in terms of toughness better than me.
I would suggest you the same, dont rush for it. If you want to lower some burden for june exams then why dont you opt for any other unit, which you think you will be able to do in jan, like unit 6 for any science subject.
-
I'm thinking of NOT doing it :)
I can't do that since I need the knowledge of Unit 5 for the sake of Unit 6B, plus I'm going with my School's flaw in Science subjects i.e. I don't want to Over-load myself with extra units in chem and phy for Jan (I'm know I'll go crazy if I did :-X )
Thanks ALL =D ...really appreciate it =]

OMG I was actually wonderin' the same thing! Last year I did M1 in June and it went fine so I suppose I'll do the same ::)

Unfortunately it isn't possible for me to do it in Jan (ALL GOOD teachers are SERIOUSLY Busy), Doing it in June.

Pity about that. The more chances you get the better.

Do it in June, I say...the teacher will finish the course by March...so you won't have to stress yourself trying to figure things out ;)

Hey Golden Girl :D,I did M2,C3,C4,M3,S2 this Jan and received 100 for all of them..actually itz all about practice..By the way i didnt do any science subs in January..If itz maths,itz practice!! I assure you if u complete the M2 book fully withought leaving behind a single question and with some past papers,u can 100%!!.I know plenty of people ..seriously who didn't do C4 in Jan but did M2 and got really good marks and some even 100%!but having done M1 would be an advantage!!...hope this helps ;)

Jan is a good choice too,.,. and abov all M2 consists of C3 mainly,. very less touch of C4, .
Good Luck By the way..!!
-
I just figured it out LOL ..Thanks Mike =]
you too ;)
-
By the way guys what's C1 C2 ... ? Are these for EDEXCEL? Cuz for CIE A-Level I only heard s1 m1 p1 ....
-
It stands for Core Mathematics 1 and so on. It's only for Edexcel. You guys take PURE Maths ( in depth math) and we take (basic math/not very into math like yours).
We have C1 - up to C4 , M1 upto M6 , and S1- upto S6
but normally people do C1- upto C4 since it's compulsory in addition to either M1 and M2 or S1 and M1 , depends on your choice =]
