Additional AS level worthy?

Hi, I’m currently taking AL Physics Chemistry Biology Maths (taking AS this summer) and I am thinking whether it’s worthy to take another AL, say further math? Then I can apply to uni along with that grade.

Do you have any ideas about a likely Uni subject?
Have you looked at the specific entry requirements for that subject on Uni websites - do they want or prefer an extra AS in FM?

AS or A level ?
And btw, 'prefer' means it isnt essential (because not all schools can offer FM).

Yes, for my case, FM is not offered in my school. I was just wondering if an additional AS can give me an advantage when applying. Apparently it’s not required to do so.

If FM is not offered if there is a FM requirement let say unis r lenient like ones I know UCL which will allow it if your College does not offer FM. Best to contact admissions and they will need proof that college dosnt offer FM

Ask your school to make it clear in your UCAS reference that the school does not offer FM - this is important.
