Should I drop further maths because I want to do law

Hi, I am studying politics, history, maths and further maths at a-level but I’ve decided that I want to study law at uni.
I was always going to drop FM after I got the AS level in it but now it just seems like extra work and the qualification won’t actually help me achieve my goal of studying law at a top uni.
Should I drop FM to focus on my other three or is there any worth keeping it.
How have you been finding fm so far? If you’re struggling with the content then dropping it is a good move. Also if you’re struggling with workload generally (especially with your other 2 alongside double maths being essay subjects) then dropping fm would very likely help with that.

Is a bit of both really. The workload is not ideal and I’m just not enjoying learning the content as much as my other a levels

Might be worth dropping it then. Maybe speak to your teacher if you’re unsure 🙂
