TheMuslim:

I have recently completed A levels, heres the detail:
There are seven papers in total:

p1 - p7
p1, p2 , p3 are called pure maths
p4 and p5 are called m1 and m2 respectively (mechanics)
p6 and p7 are called s1 and s2 respectively (statistics)

Normally, people give (p1 and m1) in AS and then (p3 and s1) in A2

Some give (p1 and s1) in AS and (p3 and m1) in A2

there are many possible choices though, depending on your future field of study...

I have rarely seen anyone taking p2 , m2


P1 is very easy if you have taken Add maths
S1 is also simple

M1 is easy if you also have physics

P3 is the real deal, its quite tough!

Hope this all helped!
:)

Do tag or quote posts, it notifies me!
What would your other subjects be?
If you are also taking physics AS, then go with P1 and M1
