maths/chemistry/maths and further

if anyone does/done all four of these is it bearable because it seems like the only way i can manage to keep my options fair open but head into a scientific root
helpppppp

What? Maths, Chemistry, Maths and Further Maths. You can't do Maths twice.

okay okay maths once lol
You mean further additional maths?

better off doing phy rather than chem tbh

Easily doable. I know a person who did Maths, Chemistry, Further Maths and Economics and got AABB respectively. He dropped Further Maths after AS though.

dont really enjoy physics- too hard ahaha, and i cannot figure our what i want to do, like go down a medicne /chemical or finance/maths root
My order of favourite to least favourite that I am doing/have done:

Biology
Chemistry (close second)
Physics
Geology
Maths
Further Maths

I love chemistry and enjoy the pure side of maths (C1, C2, FP1) and statistics, but despise mechanics.

I think they're bearable certainly!

ooo you do biology too! i like all the subjects but dont know whether it would be too hard to do them all, as the sciences involve vast amounts of revision(biology especially) and maths will take a lot of time to understand, i already have all the entry requirements for all
I do biology and chemistry. In all honesty, I prefer chemistry to biology haha

Wow, quadruple science and double maths. Are you doing all of these to A2 as well?

I'd say give it a go. You don't know whether you are capable of it unless you try.

I did biology in Y10 and Y11 and geology in Y11 and am doing chemistry, physics, maths and further now and plan on continuing them to A2. :smile:
I think it's impossible to say until you get your GCSE results and know what you're really capable of as it's doable, but A/B grades are only likely if you're a majority A*/A student at gcse

what is further maths like, because im going on the fact that further and maths kind of merge into one massive subject, just one harder than the other

i done maths, chemistry, biology a year early and got an A*, but i assume a levels as vastly harder than these

C1 - peasy, should be aiming for full UMS
C2 - peasy, should be aiming for full UMS
S1 - slightly tedious, but not too difficult if you can be bothered to learn the content
S2 - slightly tedious, but not too difficult if you can be bothered to learn the content
M1 - dull and quite tricky! (If you're lucky, your school may let you choose just stats and perhaps FP3).

It does 'merge' somewhat, but FP1/FP2 will allow you to discover a whole new world of maths! (Matrices, complex/imaginary numbers, properties of polynomial roots, polar coordinates, more hyperbolic functions and properties of curves and inequalities), so should be very interesting for you if you enjoy the pure side of maths.

I'd say M1 is about as easy as C2 personally.
