Should i choose D1/M2 for further maths a level

I dont do physics and have never done any decision maths or algorithims or computer related things in my life

I haven't done M2 yet so I can't really say much about it but D1 is quite easy.

You don't need to know anything computer related to do Decision modules.
D1 is easier. M2 is considered more rigorous and is preferred by top universities if you're applying for Maths or Physics.

If you're not going for somewhere where M2 will make a difference, have a look at the two and decide which one you prefer.

If you find m1 (really) easy, do M2
but otherwise do D1 as most of it is just teaching you basics. I remember revising for it and it had quite a lot of stuff to memorise (unlike m2 which is more application)

They're easy (D1 at least, I haven't done D2) but incredibly boring. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody, even though it's not very difficult. It just feels like an utter waste of time, it's not fulfilling at all.
