How Hard is A Level Further Maths?

I have to submit my options soon and I am seriously considering FM, but have heard that it is a very hard A-Level. I am confident in maths but just wanted to hear the opinions of those who have already done it.

Difficulty is subjective, each person will give you a different opinion on this. If you are confident with your mathematical abilities there is no reason not to give it a go - you can always drop it at a later point (if you are doing it as a 4th A-Level). Hope this helps. :smile:

If you're doing Pearson Edexcel, then you can choose:

Further Mechanics 1 and Further Decision Maths 1. They are the easiest papers by far. Because Further Decision Maths 1 does not require any prior learning, and everything is just straightforward.

However, Further Mechanics 1 is mostly the old Mechanics 2 and the questions for M2 (IAL) are the same.

Honestly it’s not as hard as people say it is. But I would say initially the jump and some of the content and ideas are hard to grasp but from there with practice and questions are quite doable and kinda repetitive. Still if you find it too hard you can always drop it or take as!
