We were warned about how English advanced is a lot harder than English standard. That's the only thing I remember!

I would say difficulty for Advanced is 7/10 and Standard would be like 6.5/10. Only difference between both levels is the prescribed texts and thats all.

Oh god, A terrible day has come.

Our school is using... Maths in focus.

The horror, the horror.

Same, my school also. But you can use other textbooks at home for questions to have an advantage over your peers?? I think that's a positive way to look at things

In my opinion, whilst advanced is very slightly harder than standard it is much harder to get a band 6 in standard opposed to advanced.

@Ambility , Math in Focus is a bit unpopular along with the Mathematics textbook crew because it's a bit too simple and basic

Omg. I'm not great at maths, but we are sweeping through this.

Time to use study time to utilise the Cambridge and AML maths books I bought TA T;

Thanks guys about the adv/stand english thing, because they make such a huge deal that advanced is that much harder. The texts in standard are easier (and more interesting) to read than advanced ones im pretty sure
