FM module?

Hi, can someone please explain how Further Maths A-level works? Do you choose certain modules? If so, how many?

You have 4 modules. You have two compulsory modules which are Core Pure 1 and Core Pure 2 and then you choose 2 other modules: Further Pure 1 (FP1), FP2, Further Mechanics 1 (FM1), FM2, Further Statistics 1 (FS1), FS2 and Decision (D1), D2. Each has a 1 and 2 counterpart as you can see there, so 8 choices but you can't choose the second counterpart of a module without picking the first. For example, FP1 + D1 is allowed, so would FS1 + FS2. But not D1 + FS2. That's about it.

You can sit more than two electives with Edexcel FM (I did this year - I sat FP1, FM1 and FS1), though I wouldn't recommend doing so.

It is probably best to check which exam board the OP is with first, as the structures of the further maths courses vary wildly by exam board.

Props to you fr. I was just mentioning the standard format of Edexcel A Level FM. I wasn’t aware you could take extra though, did you notify your school you were self studying another so they put you down for that? And how did it come up on ur results sheet and be distinguishable to other FM students results.
