Hardest topic in Further Maths

I've noticed that students can find number theory and groups very hard because they are quite different to the rest of A Level maths/FM but it's not part of core pure so depending on your options you may not do it.

I really struggled with Matrices

Oh I see, I don't think we are doing that module in my school luckily

I had a terrible time with modelling with differential equations and conic sections, although I think a large part of that was due to my terrible attendance at the time. Matrices also got a bit beyond me at first (not the core matrices, the FP2 matrices), but they're not too bad once you take the time to think it all through.

Which options/exam board are you doing?

Edexcel - Mechanics and Statistics are the options

In that case chi-squared tests - they're easy to do once you know how, but that chapter of the Edexcel textbook is so long and wordy, it was an absolute nightmare to slog my way through last week

chi squared tests are so minor, the only thing i found hard was further mech
