As some of you may know I have begun studying for my A-Levels - I just finished my IGs this June.

Now I hav scanned the chapters at the beginning of the textbook and I want you tell me which Papers this book is prepapring me for :

Is it C1, C2, C3 and C4 ?

The tetxbook is called        Core Maths for Advanced Level By L Bostock and S chandler.

Oh Ari! You bought this one?

This book is a little advanced. You can at first, print the syllabus from the CIE website. Then mark out the chapters which you need from this book. Then study only those and solve those exercises only. I did this. The exercises are good I think.
