Is it worth taking the FSMQ OCR Additional Maths in year 12 ?
As most people do it in yr11 would univeristies look at it unfavourably if I do it in yr 12 ?

No point. Its only useful to make the step from gcse to A-level. Doing AS maths at least the first half means that you compeleted almost all of the ocr add maths. University dont really care about GCSE TBH, unless you got like all A*

If you are doing A level maths then no.
If you are not but intend to study a subject at uni where maths skills are important then it could be advantageous to use it to improve but it would not affect your chances of an offer either way.
