Should i self study FP1 and FP2 before starting a maths degree at uni

Since FP1 and FP2 cover university topics i feel as if when i start i will be behind since most students have taken these modules. Im thinking of self studying over the summer.

I am not 100% sure on this, but I think most Uni's are aware that not everyone does Further Maths, thus they will have to catch these students up, so everyone is on a similar level. That being said, they may teach at a fast pace which could prove tricky.

It won't do you any harm teaching yourself FP1 and FP2, however I really wouldn't stress over it.
