Is Further Maths worth the trouble??

I intend to study medicine at uni, and i in tend to study further maths at AS. Is it worth it??

no - you don't need it to study medicene. Only do it if you really love maths. Otherwise, you're better off doing something you'd enjoy more

No, not really. The unis would base their offers on people who do other things as well as the 3A's.

what type of other things? i do plenty of extra curricular activities, if that is what you mean.

Well go on, tell me what you are doing extra curricularly, and anything that might help you get to uni. I'll see if you are above average.

play(ed) for school in a variety of sports (table tennis, badminton, football, cricket.
public speaking
some other stuff that i cant think of right now

Good, so far pretty good stuff. add some work experience and you have a decent chance. Listen to my resume as you will:

-CCF Corporal
-Plays Rugby for school
-Athletic for school
-Chess for school
-2 weeks work experience in hospital
-12 GCSE's All A*s
-Doing 5 As, Chemistry, Biology, Maths, Further Maths, Physics
-Will do 4 A2, Chem, Bio, Maths, Further Maths
-Duke of Edingburgh Award (Bronze)
-Young Enterprise
-BTEC DIPLOMA in public services

Work experience is always good! Even if it's something as simple as unpaid work on the weekends at your local GP's or even A+E - because it shows an interest in the industry.

Gp, hospital, district nurse, old people's home/care centre, medical centre, experience with children eg nursary school all good ideas

good stuff!!
what is a ccf corporal??
ive done some work experience, but intend to do some more in L6th.
in year 11, so cant do young enterprise yet.
is duke of edinburgh award useful?
where are you thinking of applying??

CCF= Combined Cadet force, Corporal is the rank I have

Duke of E, is useful, and unis do recognize it.

Hoping for Cambridge, Leeds, Imperial, Queens

Good luck

Cheers, same to you.

ur gonna have no probs..i have:

*played football for sixth form team
*4 wks wrk exp in hospital
*2 wks wrk exp in residental home
*young enterprise
*represented my local cricket team + badminton club at club level.

and i still havent heard from leeds/manchester/kcl (1st,2nd,3rd choices respectively).

Don't despair. I believe that your things are pretty good as well. Problem is that My Duke of E. is not completed, and I don't believe it will ever be so. and neither will my BETEC diploma.
