Further maths for chemistry degree?

I agree. But why do I need to practise throwing a quadrate in a field and counting flowers.. Twice?!

I'm hoping to get 11A* and a Distinction in critical thinking (lol) although english lit and lang may be A's. My problem is that I don't want to stretch my UMS too thinly if I apply to Cambridge or Durham. Also, I did the Level 2 further maths gcse qualification which so I've heard is a lot of C1 and C2. Most people taking it in my school are going for A* with distinction but I feel I got a middle A*. Also, my maths teacher said to a more intelligent pupil that they weren't good enough to do those 5. I feel to excel at further maths I should've breezed through it at gcse. I'm really not sure though.
