Which ocr mei fm modules should i take?

Im in year 12 studying ocr mei b further maths, wondering which modules to take. Im taking the tmua and I want to study computer science in a top uni.

I started fm quite late so i'm not doing it with my school this year. I was initially planning on doing mechanics minor, stats minor, and something else since thats what my school is doing.

Now im thinking of not doing stats, and instead doing mechanics minor, extra pure, and modelling with algorithms. I was also looking at further pure with technology.

would be helpful to get some thoughts on my situation!

Hey, I just finished my further stats minor exam right now I'm also doing OCR Mei b and doing cs next year at uni, my modules are stats minor, mech minor and modelling with algorithms.

Modelling with algorithms is definitely good, I do recommend you choose it. With your other modules I would take a look at what is contained within them. I couldn't choose my modules but I hated mechanics minor, but I preferred stats and modelling and found them way easier. If I could choose I would have chose extra pure over mechanics because I also don't do physics so I don't enjoy mechanics. If you enjoy your combination I would go with it but in my opinion I think modelling and stats were easier and if I could have chosen extra pure over mechanics I would. Definitely go take a look at what you like and what you think might be easy for you because you want the A*. If you do like mechanics minor over stats minor then thats up to you choosing because your strength might be mechanics minor.

Thank you, this is really helpful! And good luck on your A-Levels.
