Advanced higher maths

Hi I wanna do medicine and I’m about to choose my advanced highers. I’m deffo doing biology and chemistry.

Should I do advanced higher french or maths?

I need BBB. Or BBA

Can Someone tell me how difficult advanced higher maths is? I find maths easy at the moment but I’m not sure about advanced higher.

Merci

It depends on what you need for entry, if you need maths then pick maths, otherwise pick whatever you're more likely to find success in.

hiya i was in the same boat this time last year but ended up going with maths and have honestly loved it. I think if you're getting a good A in higher maths then advanced is quite manageable. There's a lot of new material but you definitely build on a lot of higher maths like integration and differentiation!

It really depends on how much you enjoy each subject and if you think you can achieve a good grade. The course for advanced higher maths is definitely more difficult but if you can manage higher advanced higher should be fine as most of the content is just building on previous knowledge.

Universities might favour maths over french due to it being a STEM subject however they may see advanced higher french as a way of showing how you can adapt easier and can pick up a variety of subjects.
