Edexcel is SUPER easy.

CIE, will kill you and make you mad everything you hear the word "Math". It was made by the devil himself tbh.

Even Mr. Paul said once that it takes him a while to solve the thing sometimes.

Post by: astarmathsandphysics on June 26, 2010, 10:46:29 pm: I reckon the edexcel further maths syllabus is about 1/3 easier than cie
It is a lot different. Like a googly in cricket
