ill be honest with you @rain crow

#

IGCSE grades wont contribute THAT much

#

my IGCSE grades was a B closer to an A (i never studied)

#

i only studeid at last, and most of the questions were so confusing

#

i hated math as my teacher wasnt that great, and she was so annoying

#

when i went into a levels, every teacher told me its not a good idea, and u cant do it/ it will be difficult, its better if u go to GED.

#

but i had the ambition to learn comptuer science in a levels, so i went and took a levels and math was one of the subjects

#

and @rain crow if you have a good teacher in a levels, then your set to go. A levels doesnt require THAT much IGCSES

#

and most of the concepts used in a levels that require IGCSES, just need some revision

#

for example. if your doing edexcel

#

paper 1 has a close connection to IGCSES, but you can still learn it there

#

so even if you got a C

#

you can do get in A levels if you put time into it, and your dedicated enough

#

im telling you based on experience.

#

also IAL indeed is hard, but if your dedicated enough to learning it, it'll seem like a breeze

#

your goal is to score the highest in paper 1 and paper 2

#

becuase paper 3 and paper 4, things start to get a little harder, and marks are harder to achieve and the grade thresholds are higher

#

you also have stats, which is honestly easy if you understand it.

#

thankyouuu @dim gorge ill keep these in mind

rain crow

#

#

for me its stats

#

since my teacher isnt that great

#

but stats is easy, i just didnt pay much attention, and my teacher made me hate it

IAL maths is not too bad

#

The problem lies in the difficulty increase by edexcel. And I mean it. There is a HUGE difficulty increase in the recent years

#

As somebody who has done 2019-2024 papers and repeated them twice even I struggled really bad with this session’s pure 2 and couldn’t even finish the paper

#

Maybe it’s just a skill issue on my part

#

But I do believe being good at IGCSEs will help for AS maths. Pure 1 is basically IGCSEs

#

Never thought pure 2 was too difficult until I did my paper

#

Really really bad yea I wish I was born a year earlier

safe yacht
#

im worried because im gonna have to do p1 and p2 in jan 2026

#

by then its gonna be ?????????

merry solar
#

Yea bro

#

I can’t even imagine

#

safe yacht
