What are the most difficult parts of Further Maths (A-Levels)

Hello, I am wondering. For those who have studied (or studying) Further Maths, what are the most difficult topics (both Y12 and Y13)?

I struggled with vectors, especially at first, but some people found it easy (apparently most of it used to be in A level maths).
Complex numbers and polar coordinates are both topics that start off really easy, but some of the exam questions are much harder.
Integration was challenging but fun, and some of the modelling questions in differential equations felt almost impossible.
This might be a bit different for me because I did Maths in year 12 and further maths in year 13, but apart from vectors I found most of the AS topics quite easy. I didn’t understand all the exam questions though, and A2 content jumped up in difficulty.

When it comes to applied modules, for me FS1 was a similar difficulty to A level, but FM1 was the most difficult part of further maths (I didn’t take physics).
