Well what did you do for AS? Because those six modules (apart from FP1 which has to be AS) will be shuffled to maximise your A2 grade.

You must've done FP1 and 2 other Applied Modules. D1 may have been 1. M1 could've have been one. But, you probably are doing Normal Maths so either of these would go to that, leaving one other applied module which you must have done - M2. If so, then that is your 3rd A2 Module. Or, you may have done FP2?

For AS I did FP1 FP2 D1,
So will the fp2, fp3 and d2 grades count towards my A2? Or is it fp2/fp3 and then another unit I scored high in?

Just get 90+ in D2 and FP3 and you should be looking at an A*. I think this is very stupid of your school. I did FP1, D1 and S2 for AS and should be doing M2, M3 and FP2. So there's less pressure on me in getting 90+ in all 3 as I'm positive I've got 90+ in S2.

It's the best 3 of any module that's not X1 - so D2, FP2, FP3 for you. If you did a fourth A2 module (eg S2) then it would be the best of those that counts. So you don't get a chance to mess up on one of those exams :P

Could my M2 grade contribute to my further maths grade? I'm gonna do M2 next year for normal maths. If it does, then would S1 count for normal maths (instead of M2)?

If you've done

C1-4
M1-2
S1
FP1-3
D1-2

And your M2 is strong, I think they'll arrange it:

Maths:C1-4, D1, S1
F.Maths: FP1-3, M1-2, D2

Which means you have 4 chances to get an A* (you can mess one up I guess)

Yes, it will be FP2, FP3 and D2 which are the A2 modules you are doing and will go towards determining whether you get an A* (i.e 90 UMS average on these 3).
