Additional Maths FSMQ

Hi, I completed my GCSE Maths in Year 10 and achieved an A*, so I am currently studying Additional Maths as a FSMQ. I was just wondering how do universities regard this qualification and will it help me when studying A-Level Maths?

Thanks

Universities will be pleased that you are continuing to study useful maths

It will support your A level studies

Also, it gives UCAS points when you get a high grade in the fmsq this helps too!

I did this last year, It gives you 20 UCAS points if you get an A, and its basically C1 and some C2 at Alevel, so you'll get a head start.

Wow, didn't know about this, thanks!!




That can't be bad thing! Thank you

Congratulations on the A*, I'm doing It this year in year 10 too, need your luck!

You'll be fine as long as you prepare well and do looooaaads of past papers! Honestly, I can't recommend anything more Thank you, by the way.

Np and yeah! If you don't mind me asking, how much UMS did you get overall out of 200?

181, 96 in non calculator and 85 in the calculator, strange considering in all the past papers I had done I was scoring higher in the calc paper haha A girl in my class got 200 and another 198

Wow, they must be clever and have real potential. So did you, anything above 90% is great, 95% is just amazing! He got 97 in non-calculator and 86 in calculator. The record in my school is 183 marks, aiming to beat it. I'm assuming June 2015 is going to be harder than June 2014 and 2013:/. Hopefully, I ace it though. I struggle on calculator papers do, just due to trigonometry, when I get those right, I should ace all papers. Algebraic fractions can be a hassle too. What questions did you get wrong, did you get the paper, or realise which ones you got wrong?

Really hard workers who will succeed in whatever they do, they just have an amazing attitude and work ethic. Yeah, they do tend to get harder over the years but you'll be fine! Embarrassingly enough, on the non calc paper I lost 4 marks on one of the first questions, can't remember what it was but I completely over-thought it I just looked at the unofficial mark scheme as soon as I got home and compared it to what I remembered putting.

Unis don't care - it is still just a GCSE (albeit harder) in maths.

No. A GCSE is a Level 2 qualification. This is a Level 3 qualification (the same as A Level).
