Good afternoon,
First off, apologies for dropping this comment here, its just that its your latest video. Yes, its A Level Results day, and I just wanted to let you know that as a self-study student, your videos proved to be the absolute backbone of my success in the exams today.

The main stream media have all been so quick to portray the marking of this summer's papers as being "harder" than last years (teacher assessed) and "not as hard" as 2019. Referring to Edexcel (the board I sat) and comparing the grade boundaries (released this morning) with 2019 it does indicate that, for lower grades C, D, E that the grade boundaries are noted as being more lenient. However, for Grade A, the difference is only one mark and remains unaltered for A*. So, IMHO today's boundaries have no significant difference compared to the "fully leaded" pre-pandemic grade boundaries for A and A* grades.

Thankfully, and because of your work on YouTube, I was confident that based on 2019 grade boundaries I was expecting a "solid" A grade (just couldn't make my pen go fast enough to amass the required extra c. 15 - 20 and so it came to pass!

So, once again I simply wish to express my sincere thanks and gratitude for all your hard work and altruism.

Now for your Further Maths content!

One request I have is, could you give me your thoughts (or even do a video on) the substance of the optional "non-core" elements of Further Maths as this may help me decide on which to study. Seems to be something of a mystery wrapped up in an enigma to me at the moment. Ive looked at the OCR collateral on this and have gotten myself royally confused :-(.

Many thanks once again for all your help and guidance.
