This is really interesting so thanks, what made it so difficult and stressful for you?
The pace of the course was hard to keep up with, and I relied on hard work rather than natural ability. I think you need a mathsy mind to keep up. Also really look into how much it would limit your options, because I think it's a lot less than you think. If you do choose it I would say keep up from day 1. If you don't understand something sort it there and then, DO NOT wait. This will give you the best chance!😊

Ok thanks this was helpful, I'm really trying not to make the wrong decision. I think over summer I'll have a look at the syllabus- maybe study some sort of 'bridge' work, research about alternatives if i wanted to go down a science route- and I can always change once I've started.
My opinion is that if you do really well at GCSE (high A*) then AS level maths will be a walk in the park, as I find that a lot of the AS level is the high A* GCSE maths, but in a slightly different context
