further maths and economics advice

I probably do a maths degree

I probably do a maths degree

Then at least do Further Maths AS if it is available.

I just wanted to know if i could do it as a lot of people told me its really hard
I want to go to a uni in the Russel group i think that is top 20. Also what about Economics is it worth it?

I'm not really sure what you mean by 'worth it'. I do Economics A Level and I want to study it at university because I enjoy so it is definitely worth it for me. I still think that doing Further Maths would be a huge advantage for you when you apply for Maths courses. Economics doesn't really do anything for you.

On whether you could do it, I think you should try it at least to AS like NamelessPersona said. If you feel that it is getting difficult then drop it at the end of Year 12. Even having the AS qualification will be extremely advantageous when applying to Russell Group unis.

I dont know if this is true but for our year A levels have changed we only pick 3 and we have to carry it onto the second year that is why i am cautious at what i pick. Thanks for replying i appreciate it.

i think i have to carry it onto the second year as our year does only 3 A levels

Hmm, do you know which modules you will take for Further Maths? Do you do Decision Maths?

If you are absolutely sure you are going to apply for maths then take it. Ideally your 3 A levels should be Maths, Further Maths and Physics (however Physics could be swapped for any other respectable subject). With regards to difficulty, it is not too difficult in my opinion, however it really depends on the individual.

modules we take for further maths are: This is AS
Further Pure 1
Mechanics 1
Decision mathematics 1
And for second year we do:
Further pure 2
Further pure 3
Mechanics 3 or probability and statistics 3

How about your Maths modules?

Also, what is your other subject?

Math modules are:
Core 1
Core 2
Probability and statistics 1
second year:
core 3
core 4
probability and statistics 2 or mechanics 2
my other subject was meant to be Economics but you advised not to do it so i dont know maybe Chemistry.

I assumed from the title that you only had one choice left. In that case, Economics is as good a choice as any. If you do decide to take up Further Maths, that frees up the third spot for most other subjects. NamelessPersona is right when he says the 'best' choice would be Physics because it is the most maths oriented subject (other than Maths) but it isn't very important if you have Further. Any subject that isn't considered 'soft' would be a good choice.

I still think the best course for you is to take Maths, Further Maths plus something you really enjoy (but is still facilitating).

I probably do a maths degree

thanks ill do this maths, further maths and economics. I want to do something that i would enjoy rather than economics. Any suggestions?

Tbh if your gonna do a math degree than you really should be doing further math as further math becomes nothing in your first year degree.
Also everyone who does further automatically gets atleast an A at normal math without revision cause further makes normal look so easy.

EDIT: And disadvantage for Econ is that if you don't follow certain aspects of the news than it'll make it harder. It's better to do it only if your interested. Consider IT it isn't so soft and apparently is easy to get an A
