Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around finding suitable revision guides for Further Pure 1 in Further Mathematics, specifically for the MEI specification. Participants share their experiences and recommendations regarding resources that provide explanations, examples, and practice questions.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant is seeking a revision guide that offers good explanations and practice questions for Further Pure 1.
  • Another participant suggests that the OCR textbooks for Pure 4, 5, and 6 might be compatible with MEI specifications and finds them comprehensive with good questions.
  • A different participant mentions their success using a textbook and suggests checking for revision days at local universities as a helpful resource.
  • One participant shares their personal experience of achieving a high score on the exam, attributing it to their study methods, including summarizing important formulae and techniques.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the usefulness of textbooks and past papers, but there is no consensus on a specific revision guide for Further Pure 1 tailored to MEI.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about the compatibility of resources with MEI specifications remain unverified, and the effectiveness of different study methods is based on personal experience.

Who May Find This Useful

Students preparing for Further Mathematics exams, particularly those following the MEI specification, may find this discussion relevant.

Hello PF readers,

I am currently doing Further Mathematics, and I was looking for a suitable revision guide for Further Pure 1 for ME, but I was unable to find one. Are there any attention worth revision guides that offer good explanation about the topic with given examples and questions to practice? I would appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance.

I would assume that the OCR textbook Pure 4,5,6 would be compatible with MEI specs. I found them to be very comprehensive and the questions to be very good. Also, the past year papers for both MEI and OCR should be helpful. And your own notes, I guess... I remember distilling important formulae and techniques into a few pages and that got me through Further Maths just fine.
 
I just used the textbook, which I assume you already have? I got 93% on that exam :) which was pretty good given it was the hardest exam I had in Year 12.. By the way, you might want to check for revision days at universities near you, I went to one at QMU, London which was pretty helpful.
 
Thanks guys, I really appreciate your responses. :P
