Is Further Maths A Level Worth It?

So after doing Further Maths A Level during my AS year and getting closer to the exams, I decided to make a video about A Level Further Maths CIE that hopefully answers the questions that many of you might have: What is Further Maths A Level like? Is Further Maths Worth It? Do you need to be a genius in order to do well?

I also wanted to make this video to motivate myself and make sure that I work consistently and stick to my study plan to hopefully end up being fully prepared by the time the exam takes place and I can perform well.

Hope you guys enjoy ッ

Thank you for making this! Really helped clear things up, I've always thought math as very difficult but it's been getting easier in the recent years and I would wish to become a chemist in the future so I probably need it.

[Jessica-ecmm]

This video was so informative! Thank you very much for your efforts!

[adeena]

thank you for the video its v helpful and encouraging, i might keep further maths in A levels

[sashadiggory]

Heyy. I have maths only for now. I gave M1 and P1 for my AS. I plan to give my A levels on S1 and P3 while also studying the whole of further maths in one year for A Level. Do you think it's possible? I have Chem and Physics as well.

Great video do you think itd be possible for me to do further maths by myself and still get a good grade if i work hard even though i got a 7 in gcse maths

[jxlly]

Hi great vid, very informative: I am doubting myself whether or not I can do further maths, it seems very hard. I will probably do economics at university and further maths will help me, but again seems very hard. Did you feel the same way? Anyway, hope your exams went well!

[jhundlani]

Just wanted to ask what benefits it provides at university level IF a student goes for Further maths ?

[takdirsaiful]

Hey im unsure of what to do for my future between engineering, computer science or surgeon, so should i pick further maths or should i just pick chemistry instead?

[maryampooka]

The problem is I am doing my o levels/ gcses and I do not take physics, and I believe that subject is very important for further maths. So can i take it if I don't take physics very worried about that, I do take ad maths (getting A's and B's) but in maths I'm getting straight A*'s, which is why my mother is urging me to consider taking it. I think further maths is a very impressive subject and I just may be able to do it but not sure. Thanks for the informative video!!

Hello Mario,
Small clarification
I just finished my AS level and I am planning to take A level Further Math and attend fm exam at may/june series . Is it possible for me to choose paper 1, 2 and 4 or should I choose all the papers (1, 2, 3, 4) because I hate doing mechanics.

Thanks

Hi, I was thinking of taking this subject and one thing i've noticed is that there aren't many resources available especially for caie and my college also doesn't offer further maths so I will be doing it as a private candidate. I was wondering, if it is possible to achieve an A or an A* with just the book and past papers?

[kieranaarontjahjadi]

hi, if i am planning to major in computer science, would further maths be useful?

[tanjilaakther]

Do you have any advice as I find the text book questions SOO Much easier than the pass papers and for edexcel there isn’t many pass papers available
