Thank you
It's not hard in comparison to core maths, it's just more in depth maths. I personally find a module from core maths more challenging than all modules in FM. If you like maths then I recommend it.

Thank you
Basically doing maths double the speed everyone else and still getting just as good marks as ppl doing normal maths

Is there more homework/independent study than normal maths?

Do you know which exam board you'd be doing?
At first, it seems quite overwhelming because a large proportion of your timetable will be maths. A lot of your exams will also be maths as it's 6 modules in year 12 and year 13. Same goes with the proportion of homework time you spend doing maths compared to other subjects. But if you enjoy the subject and you're good at it, that's not really a problem and you don't really feel like it's too much. But if that doesn't sound like something you'll enjoy, probably don't take it.

Maths + further maths combo is fairly easy imo, especially at AS
Ya it is really hard but you should be okay if you're good at maths and you like maths
it is easy, if you're einstein.
To the normal human, yes. To someone who loves maths, it's just more maths. It's just formulas and techniques which can all be mastered through practice. With maths the amount of time you put in = your grade. If that equation doesn't work, there's something inefficient with the time your putting in
