Edexcel Core 1

Just did it. Possibly the easiest test I have ever done in my life!

Who else is going to be disappointed with less than 100%?

Core 1 was pretty easy when I did it a couple of years back. Was dissapointed with 97% though. If you do mechanics later on, that's pretty easy as well.

We did M1 last week. I am resitting it. I nearly fainted in the exam.

There are integrals in C1. There are turning points (maximums, minimums, points of inflections) in C1 and I think C2.

Here are some past papers:

It might be because I did some mechanics in physics previously. My cousin had also found mechanics hard.

That's how it was at my school. The people who don't do physics found it hard, and the ones that did found it easy.

I am very disappointed with what I am expecting in M1, and I know for sure I am resitting it.

Guess that's where WJEC differs.

There probably was turning points but I only know the welsh name of it

On the first link I posted, go to question 4. (3,5) is a maximum. Is that what you mean by a turning point?
