How Hard Is Maths A Level?

There's LOTS of resources out there. If you don't get something go to a different resource and do it there. It's really not complicated once you understand things like notation etc.

A Levels are overrated lmao, unless you went to get into medicine or something across that field science is good if you want to get in to uni.

Universities don't care about your subjects with exceptions of some specific ones, they just care about the GRADES. I'd chose the most easiest A Levels bang out A/A*'s and get in to an amazing university and do the course you love...

Simple. Don't put so much stress on your self, enjoy your summer don't even look at work!

Oh okay Our school is setting us compulsory maths work over the summer () so if I finish that quickly, I might look over C1, C2 and FP1. The other stuff looks too complicated to self-teach tbh

In my opinion it's not that hard but it depends how good you are at maths, especially algebra. If you're getting A*/A at GCSE you should'nt find it too difficult. Also, if you've done further maths GCSE it's a good insight into AS maths.

I got an A* and still found it horrible.

Everything above is ridiculously wrong.



Enjoy your summer, you'll have plenty of time to study once term starts. Just relax for a bit, you won't get that opportunity to just do nothing over your holidays till the end of your A-Levels, might as well enjoy it whilst you can.

Give your opinion whether you have studied it or not

If I had the choice between slamming my penis in the car door and doing it again, I would only be doing maths once :P

Why did you find it horrible may I ask? Was it too difficult, the type of topics or work load for example?

Zacken I know you are very respected in the maths department haha, do you think I would have high success at maths A level when I don't really enjoy maths and don't really like the look of the topics on the syllabus? I am good at it though which is the spanner in the work.

I've just finished year 12 - done the whole maths A level this year (C1-C4, M1 & S1). It's completely different from GCSE maths and can seem quite scary at first.

If you like maths and manage to get an A or A* at GCSE, there's no reason why you can't get an A or A* at A level if you put in enough hard work. You have to be prepared to work hard in order to get the top grades - you won't get an A* if you start revising the night before every exam!

To answer your question, is it hard? The answer varies person-to-person, so it really depends on what you're good at. In my opinion it's much easier to get 100% in a maths exam than other subjects (English for exam). Make sure you fully understand every topic and every method fully and you'll be fine ! Good luck next year

You could probably do well at it if you put in the work, however, you won't want to put in the work if you don't enjoy maths. You'll make your AS/A-year a bit of a misery with heaping revision of a subject you don't enjoy on yourself and consequently will probably not do well.

Why do you want to take a subject you don't enjoy?

(also, well respected in the maths department? )

I don't really want to choose it but all my friends and family are saying I should do it as its very well respected and they think my current a-level options are lacking a top subject. When speaking to one of my teachers she said well it will be only one subject you won't enjoy so just put up with it?
Btw, I always see you helping everyone on the maths forums thats what I meant haha

If you want to go into sciences/medicine/economics, then yeah, it'd be a good choice. If you want to go into something more arts-y (history, english, languages, etc...) then, definitely don't do it if you don't enjoy it. If you're not sure, then do it.
