    You were in the same boat last year Rajan, you get your results in August and then it's far too late to choose.

    I know Lowri, some uni's take futher maths and maths as one a level so I don't know. Maybe I'll just do furhter maths....and if it's too hard just do maths Very Happy

    She means she hasn't sat the main exams at the end of the 2 years yet, Rajan. That's normal. If you stay in the school's 6th form, they usually want at least an approximation of how many would do each subject at around this time.

    Would you maybe need the ordinary maths one to have the groundwork for the further maths, though, Sin?

    :no: It's another A level in maths, doing more indepth and complicated stuff than would be done in just normal Maths A level.

    Maths is just maths but futher maths is basic university level maths.

    OK, I give up, I'm gonna look on the CCEA website and find all this out Very Happy

    OK, I'm not reading the syllabus, it's too scary Shocked

    further maths is not the same thing as maths.

    The work is much more challenging and it's a whole lot more painstaking. If you know of a really really good teacher teaching the course, then you may have a shot at it.

    It will also help if you naturally have an analytical mind i.e. you like things like science, physical geography, economics, graphic designs, computing, etc. (something that is very structured/systematic and only has answers which are either right or wrong and requires you to be very accurate). If you don't then you may have problems and I recommend you not to take it.

    I agree with okneil that unis only care about what you have, not what you have studied unless they say so in their particular course. A level is much more different from GCSE where GCSE test you more on your variation of skills whilst A Level tests you only on your strengths.

    They definitely have not got the bridge right from GCSE to AS when I was doing my A Levels and I very much doubt all that much has changed over 5-6 years.

    If you really insist on doing further maths, make sure you spend night and day working on math problems to sharpen your mind. It will also help if you do other science-like subjects.

    so sin wants to do furthur maths but doesnt know if you have to do maths to do furthur maths as well

    im guessing, but i think you probably can just do furthur maths without doing maths. It sounds a bit stupid if you have to do maths in order to do furthur maths as it sounds like maths is just the foundation of furthur maths and would also include maths as well Smile

    Does your school let people take 5 for about a month and then drop one, if they're uncertain of which ones they want to take?

    She'd be better off doing Maths and Eng Lit, than Further Maths and Eng Lit.

    I don't know Rajan, if you have to do both that might actually be bad as the uni I decide I want to go to may not take them as separate subjects so I don't know...
