Does GCSE Add Math (Further Math) required for A-Level Further Math ?

Normal maths not further. There’s like two bits different but the rest is essentially the same. It’s just more problem solving. Also im pretty sure we didn't do linear programming at GCSE further unless we called it something else.

Sorry - we have done extensive research on this and it is NOT worth risking non 9s in other GCSEs not just Maths

It's not linked to FMaths A level at all now FM is linear.

Where is the matrices in normal A level? Level 2 [it's not a GCSE] FM lacks a lot of the AS content - none of the stats or mechanics.

Yeh that’s one of the things that’s different. I said it was similar to AS maths not further maths twice now.

You said it WAS the same as ASmaths - it just isn't.

It basically was. Like from a students perspective it was. My whole year finished the AS course Uber fast cause it was so similar.

Where is the stats and mechanics?! Many other gaps too ... you are mistaken

I mean ok you can say that. Doesn’t change my and my classmates experience though

Hi, I wanted to know if it is recommended to only take AS Further Maths only if someone has taken further maths at GCSE which is also known as Additional Math. Is taking further maths with a grade scale of 8 or 9 of GCSE math enough. I am focusing if the student can perform well with grade 8 or 9 or additional maths at GCSE is the only right way to perform well at further maths AS-Level

Like further maths is a waste of time at A levels too??

GCSE FM is not required to take A-Level FM and if you are performing at 8 or 9, you will find yourself doing well in it.
You get taught the baseline concepts of calculus in GCSE FM but you learn them and get accustomed to applying them very quickly at maths. If you're reaching high grades in GCSE Maths, I recommend taking Further Maths as it gives a more intuitive understanding of what you're taught in A-level.
A caution is that A2 FM is the most reliant on independent study when compared to any other A-level and your awarded grade is not allowed to be higher than that of A2 Maths.
