I just recently finished my AS's with four subjects and I'm looking to drop one in order to free up some time so I can get A*AA grades next year after A2.
I'm currently picking between further maths and music, with an intent on studying maths at university after a levels.
Now initially I'd been adamant about carrying on fm as I enjoy my maths a lot more than my music and do tonnes outside of school, and I also feel it'd be more useful for studying maths at university.
HOWEVER, my school is advising I drop further maths on the basis of two things:
Firstly they're saying it'd be safer for me to continue music (Less resits, I did also achieve a slightly higher grade compared to my fm)
However the thing that is worrying me is that they warned me that some universities are apparently very funny with maths and further maths being two seperate a levels, and often viewing them as essentially "a single a level" even though non of the content overlaps.
So really I'm asking how true is this? Is it worth phoning up universities I'm interested in and asking if this is the case?
