can i get into cambridge/oxford maths despite having a b in my fsmq

i just saw my results and for some reason i ****ed up somewhere and got a B
hoping to see my real mark and see where i messed up and if its possible for a remark
but if it still stays a b is it even worth applying for math??

If you get appropriate grades in A-level Maths and FM I don't see why not.

Yeah, it shouldn't hold you back. Just make sure you do much better with Maths and FM.

realistically, if ur not easily getting A* at this level, ur chance of getting into oxbridge maths is close to 0. But if u enjoy maths and really want to study it at uni, u can still try

I disagree. First off, you cant get an A* on FSMQ. Second, taking fsmq means youve covered some a level maths content before year 12 so it should put the OP in a good position to do well in their a levels with the right work.
