Really?

Yep.

You’ll only have to do applied on normal Maths but for FM you don’t have to.

The new FM isn't available this year though - I've been told first entry for A2 FM is 2019?

Yeah that’s the only bad thing. Normal maths can be done this year.

Do you mean FM GCSE? If so then I'm not taking it but you can force your school (well not force but you get what I mean) to enter you. My friend really likes Maths (he's also great at it) so he convinced the school to enter him for FM GCSE and FMSQ. You should do the same - ask your school to let you sit a mock paper for FM and then enter you (I think you'll get the top grade A*^ which'll look among your sets of 9s). :smile:

Oh I thought you were taking fm gcse? What are you taking then?

Definitely M2 and M3 (especially M3). I find applied a lot harder than pure. I loved the pure content but didn't enjoy the applied (and also my physics GCSE knowledge is very limited compared to mechanics here so I had to spend a while) and also there's not a lot of videos on it xD

But the textbook is very useful (especially mixed excercises) so it got me through it. Also there aren't any Solomon papers I believe for applied which is a bit annoying since they were very useful.

Bruh I gotta ask, how the hell you doin this seriously? This is fckon incredible, you're singlehandedly juggling a levels and gcses lol. You should be very proud of coming this far and I have no doubt you'll be in Cambridge soon. Also, what modules do you do for FM? I'm currently doin fp3 m2 and s2.

I would also h8ghly recommend applying to MIT as they look desperately for people like you and will offer full ride if you get accepted.

Yeah true but I need both to be done now so I can sit other stuff at 6th form.

Yeah I'm taking 12 modules this year alongside GCSEs and preparing for IMOK so that's why I have absolutely no free time (hence on TSR all the time) :tongue:

True, I’ll be easier for you then. What A-Levels are you going to take again? Chemistry, Physics and?

Why don't you just do A Level Further Maths next year in one year with whatever A Levels you want to do? Bro you are gonna die before sixth form (metaphorical of course) by pushing yourself too hard. Adore your work ethic but don't burn yourself out.

I agree. It's seems like too much stress for no reason when he's got more than enough time next year. Still incredible tho.

Yeah I've heard of kids doing 6 A Levels but what this kid is trying to do is unprecedented. I don't mean to sound brash but OP needs a life beyond revision and books. Do the right extracurricular stuff before uni application and you will get an Oxbridge interview easy (probably an offer) without the unnecessary stress. In my opinion OP needs to continue his unbelievable work ethic but cut down on his workload.

A kid in a local school near me is doing A-Level Maths and he’s in Y8.
