it depends if it was offered at their school. Is there any way u could ask them? 🙏


Their school offered it, they took it but dropped it

But if you can take it, even just for AS. Will be beneficial but not the deciding factor. Personal statement is probably the most important since most applicants will have similar grades

FM1 and FD1 are easiest in terms of gaining high marks as you can rely on past questions and topics are still pretty much the same as the old specifications from 2001 to 2023 past papers. 🙂


Fd1 this year was so hard tho 🥲

Bicen Maths - YouTube is highly recommended. He got 100 in some papers this year. But he also got one of his lowest scores in FD1?!

It says “further mathematics is desirable”. I don’t do FM and it is offered at my school.
Does it drastically lower my chances?
Is there a way I can sit AS further maths privately and get a predicted grade?


someone taking the course has told me more then half of the students haven’t taken FM. I think you are fine, focus on PS.
