Further mechanics 2 options overlapping with physics rather than stats?

Hey I’m in year 12 doing prediction summer exams in a week and I absolutely suck at stats and I just realised for further maths a level, only core pure 1 and 2 are compulsory, and you can do any of the other combinations. I want to study physics in uni and I currently also do A level physics. My school currently offer the most standard Core pure 1+2 and further mechanics1 and further stats1 and an option to do decision1 as well.
Does anyone know how much does further mechanics 2 overlap with physics? For example circular motion and simple harmonic motion appears both sides. And how much work would it be self studying for further mechanics 2? (and I’m going to be slacking off in stats classes at school if that’s the case)

Sure, there is a reasonable amount of overlap on the concepts, but the approach is a bit different so physics will be pre calculus (gcse maths) whereas further maths is calculus based. Obviously they can reinforce each other and if you understand one well (the well part is important), then thats half the battle with the other.
Whether that merits self teaching mechanics (obv there is a fair amount of stuff online) is debatable and there is generally a reasonable amount of stats in physics, so youll be delaying it rather than avoiding it. Obv though, a physics degree wont assume youve taken a particular futher maths module (so either mech or stats) and will cover the necessarily material.

Thanks for your response. I do get your point on this that physics also contain a reasonable amount of stats. What do you think about sitting further mechanics 1 and 2, further stats 1 and core pure 1 and 2 (and maybe decision if that goes well at school) and since they consider the 2 that you do best in. Would that be beneficial or is that way too much work? (I mean I'm also preparing for physics olympiads and uni entrance tests too)
