After talking to my exams officer (I'm a private candidate) I'm changing my units.
I am replacing FP1 with S1.
Now I need a unit to replace FP3. I obviously have S2, D1 or M1.
Anyone have any advice on which I would take?

S2 follows on from S1.... it is not all that hard really.
If you like physics then M1 would work.
If algorithms are your bag the D1...

Obviously it's personal preference but I'm a private candidate and chose D1. I'm also studying computer science and it had a lot of similarities between them which was good! It includes things like finding the shortest route using algorithms and so on. Let me know if you have any other questions about it

I've decided on s1 and d1.
I've watched through jack Brown's course on YouTube and d1 actually looked interesting so I'm gonna do them.
Thanks for everyone's help

Thanks for the warning.
I don't usually make silly mistakes and d1 is the last exam and I have 11 days to get it right after my fourth exam. So I should be ok.

Just be warned that a lot of D1 questions are "all-or-nothing". If you screw up something in an early part of the question, you may not even be able to attempt the later parts. If you make careless mistakes, D1 is not the module to do. But it's fun and the algorithms are quite easy to learn.

It's a lot better than before I changed units.
I had 2 doubles. So I had 5 exams and 3 exam dates.

Having that gap is nice. I have M2, then D2 three weeks later, then FP2 another 19 days after that! Couldn't be better!

S2 is relatively easier than M1 . However M1 is very conceptional and fun whereas S2 is just remembering certain rules and applying formula .
D1 is the easiest in terms of conception but is very very tedious and boring AF .
I did all three and in my opinion I think s2 is in middle of m1 and d1 for both fun and intensity .

D1 for ease.
M2 to complement physics.
S2 to complement you doing S1.
personally, I'd do D1 because it's easy

I’m currently doing S2 and I find it just as a continuation of S1... so if you did S1 and enjoyed it/did well then go with S2
However if you study physics then M1 might be an idea... if you’re good at it.
I don’t know much about D1 sorry!

im not wanting an as or a2 level in further maths. I was doing a level pure maths and found the content too much.
I'm enjoying the d1 module I'm working through at the moment.
Thanks for both comments
