Hi, Ive just started Year 11 and my school has told us that they are going to do a further maths gcse course (out of school time). My target for maths this year is a 9. I
n Year 6 i did a foundation maths gcse and got a C and then in Year 8 i did the higher paper and got an A*. Since then i have done Level 3 (AS level) maths awards and an fsmq. In the future i would like to be a doctor and at A level i would like to study biology, chemistry and physics.
My teacher and other people in my class have been trying to persuade me to do the further maths because they feel i wouldnt find it too hard but i don't think i would be at a disadvantage if i don't choose to do it and i'm worried that doing it may detract my attention away from studying for my other subjects, plus i only have 1 free night per week.
Just looking for any opinions on whether i should do it or not and how much extra work it would be
Thanks in advance xx
