how finished am I

Basically I'm top set maths and our school forces us to do further maths. I told my school I find it very difficult and I won't revise it at all.
all 3 of my normal maths papers went very smooth and I reckon I definitely got a 9. however in yesterdays fm paper I literally couldnt answer 6 of the questions and might not even pass. would that be a problem?

I'm in the same situation I don't want to do further maths either but tbh it isn't that important it's just an additional qualification that you can get so don't stress about not doing well bc it's not going to go towards anything

While I can't guarantee anything, the grade boundaries tend to be lower for further maths than normal maths, so even if the exam has gone worse you might still get quite a good grade.
