Further Maths help

I'm starting college in a few days and I'm having trouble deciding on what subjects to do.
I was originally doing Maths, Further Maths, Geography and PE, but I don't think I'll cope with Further Maths.
I got and A in Maths IGCSE and a D in Additional Maths. If you have done further maths could you give me an idea of how hard it is, and some suggestions of some form ? thanks :smile:

Hard is subjective.
AS further maths is generally far less challenging than A2. That is an option if you are unsure.
Nobody can tell you how you wil do. I have taught pupils with A grades at GCSE who fail AS maths yet on the other hand a couple of B grade GCSE students have gone onto get A stars. Different people handle A level maths differently and GCSE results are not always a true reflection of potential.
Geography and PE, in comparison may be less intense so you have to make an informed choice.
The posts saying "Its so hard" or "Its easy" are purely anecdotal subjective accounts.
