It was not too much harder. There are concepts and ideas that are very novel and hard to sink in at the beginning, but you can still get away with not studying too much and still getting A*. The reason for this is that most of the questions you will seen can be done with repeated algorithms. That is why if you want to do a pure maths course at uni, you should probably do STEP or MAT which focus more on the understanding and problem solving.
@@exploderz the subject is easy if you have a really good teacher, the subject is concept wise Is easy however the question may get really hard sometimes however do know it will definitely require effort of your own rest is up to you to decide.
@@hungerquest7862 ohh thank you ! but i might have to self learn further maths since there’s no more space on the course in my school ,do you think it will be too difficult?
Further maths adds more interesting topics to your studies. Everyone says how hard it is, but if you can get an A* in a level maths then getting a similar grade in further maths is not as hard as everyone makes out. The gap is far too exaggerated
I agree abd disagree at same time. I loved the subject but you need to put on a lot of effort, and tmr is my unit test of further maths and i am cooked.
@Quaternion ohh thanks! We have 14 units and P1, P2, P3, P4, FP1 and either FP2 or FP3 are compulsory and you get to take 6 applied units (or 5 applied and F) from S1, S2, S3, M1, M2, M3 and D1; crazy how different it is here
I'm planning to take physics, chem, maths and Computer science but I haven't studied computer science in my GCSEs. I took ICT back then. Would I be able to study it, like without any previous background?
@@snhtsljedc9803 thank you for the suggestion! But I didn't take additional mathematics in o levels so I don't think I'll be able to manage further maths in A levels :(

@@anonymous99923 I do the same exact a level and they are going amazing as of now, phyiscs can get hard conceptually so u need to make sure u need to understand the content
@Nafis Khan Apologies if im a little bit late but the reason you gotta do a-level further maths alongside a-level regular maths is because many topics from a-level further maths branch off from regular a-level maths. So with your example of Business Studies, accounting and further maths, you would be taking 4 a-levels as in order to take a-level further maths, you also need to take a-level maths. Hope this made sense but do feel free to ask me questions in case you're confused and I will try to answer to the best of my ability :)
I am thinkg of taking business,maths, physics and computer science for my a levels. But idk whether to drop business and take further maths instead. Also does further maths counts as a separate course?
Further maths counts as a separate A-Level and it covers different topics and goes into some topics in greater depth. In terms of whether you should take it instead of business, it really depends. Judging by your options, I'm guessing you are looking to take a maths based course at uni, in which case further maths would help you much more than business. For some of the top universities, further maths might even be required, or at the very least strongly recommended, for any physics, computer science, maths, or other related courses. However, you are also taking some very difficult A-Levels already that would require a lot of work and are very maths based, so taking business instead might mean you get a slight break from pure maths (although I'd imagine there are lots of statistics involved in business). It's also worth considering how good you are at maths already. What is your predicted grade for maths? If it isn't at least a 7, and I would imagine it should be an 8 or a 9, based on your combination of A-Levels or you will struggle. Did you take further maths GCSE? Did you struggle with that? Did you like the extra challenge? Basically, know your own limits and your own strengths
@@mk12377 Hi, thanks for the replay. Ye I am predicted a 9 for all my GCSEs besides from English subjects.

it's so annoying tho. in my As level I got a high B and my teacher predicted me a C and my friend got a safe A and got predicted a B it makes no sence

This channel is so underrated :( great content and very helpful!
Great video
Had to crank my speakers to hear this check the volume before releasing
It’s like, 4 grams of hard I think.
Good one bro
Finally, a reasonable answer.
Although your evaluation is incorrect. It is actually about 5.7Nm-1 hard.
Wait most people get to pick their optional modules? 😭
thanks
Too hard. I cry everyday and don't want to do a Maths degree anymore
You actually take 6 units in Edexcel FM not 4
idk about UK though, as internationals we do 6
@Quaternion how many units do you have to choose from if you take math and FM?

don't do 4 a levels unless your university requires you to, computer is easy if your good at maths for a level
@@luke6164 okay thank you. I have to keep four A levels at least in the first year, it's a requirement from the college

Honestly, taking a level further maths is no harder, and arguably easier in some aspects to a level physics.
