What is Advanced Higher Maths of Mechanics like?

I have just chosen my subjects for S6 and chose Mechanics, Maths and Physics. They are what I enjoy but I have no clue how hard Mechanics is as it’s my school’s first year of doing it.

Hallo, the course is here : Advanced Higher Mathematics of Mechanics (shetland.co.uk)

I self taught myself mechanics and it was alot harder compared to maths and physics- the good thing is that there is no assignment. the course is bascially 33% advacned higher maths (so easy marks) and the rest is harder applied physics based questions. I am a tutor for the subject if your interested- I got an A in the final exam (whilst being self taught)

Haven’t been on Student Room since I posted this sorry! I ended up dropping it a week in as I wasn’t enjoying it and It was a 4th advanced higher so my school let me drop it without picking anything else up.

I plan on self teaching myself mechanics this year and I was wondering what resources you used to learn from

I just started self-teaching the course as well, since a friend recommended it at a different school, but I had to fight tooth and nail for my school to present me since they kept making excuses. I only just got permission to do it halfway through the year, and it is kind of the busiest part of the year cause I have my 2 advanced higher science projects and 2 advanced higher-level course projects all happening simultaneously. I was able to do like 10% over the weekend but I'm kinda struggling to find quality material. Are there any good sources for units 2 and 3.

Unit 3 Is just calculus from AH Maths and for Unit 2 https://www.national5maths.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/mechanics2_notes.pdf
