How much time do you put into further maths?

Just what the title says really. How much time do you put into your further maths each night and at weekends?

Thanks :smile:

Not as much as I should. I need to start doing some serious work though now if I have a chance of doing well on the further pure modules. Started revising FP1 and FP2 though. Just FP3 to finish off now and then I'll be past-papering them til I'm talking about matrices and complex numbers in my sleep.....well....maybe not quite that much....but yeah y'know what I mean lol.

I spend about an hour a day on maths. Or used to, anyway.

I've sadly done one piece of homework this year for further maths, but am struggling for it, and once coursework is done will hopefully get back into it. Last year when I did work, I would spend about 3 hours a week maybe.

well I haven't actually done any of the homeworks set for f.maths, and I only have 1 lesson per week. so really I need to start doing some work else i might just end up with a perfect U :biggrin:

I have to say learning all these new maths topics is pretty confusing, I'm starting getting everything muddled up, just hope next year will be better.

I spend usually 2-3 hours per day doing maths, maybe more. I do every question in the textbooks I'm given, as well as homeworks that my teacher sets me from another textbook. Next year that will step up to 3-4 hours per day at least I'd say, since then I will actually be timetabled for maths/further maths A-levels, and won't simply be self-studying them.

Hehe, now there is someone passionate about their subject!

I only really spend 2-3 hours per week outside of lessons doing maths, I feel that you can master topics from practise in class so little revision/outside work is needed for exams.

Our teachers "force" us to do spend loads of time on homeworks. We have tests taken from the old papers once per week per branch, and we have 2 of P1-4 papers, an old M2 paper and an old S2 paper each week for prep. So I'm "forced" to spend at least 3-4 hours per week per branch if I'm not to be swallowed by my teachers... But then again I really enjoy it - I was actually once sad enough to do a Hypothesis test on my M&M's, and I found that the probability of picking a blue in this packet exceeded 1/5 at the 5% significance level for a sample of 30... :p:

On Further Maths, about 4 hours a week including mechanics and decision mathematics. Then there is maths that I find online that I randomly do when I feel like it....and then there is STEP :p:

Sod all really. I've just made notes on S1, S2 and D1 outside of lessons this year. No homeworks whatsoever. I am starting to think revision begins soon to get me the uni place I want.

I'm a bit mad - I'm self-studying further maths, although I want to take Japanese as a degree...just because maths is fun! :p:

I normally spend 1-2 hours on top of the normal time I spend on the maths A2.

I'm doing AS+A2 Maths and Futher Maths in a year. I'm supposed to have 5 hours of 'Normal' Maths in which we do C1-C4, M1 and S1, but I made a deal with the teachers that I don't go to C1-C3 classes, so I have 2.5 hours a week and the rest I have free periods during which I usually do some Further Maths. And then 2 hours a week for Further Maths in which we cover FP1-FP3 and then I'm self-teaching M2, M3, M4 and D1 in my own time.

Outside class, I do spend loads of time doing Maths - probably 3 or 4 hours a day.
