Should I do core maths as a year 13 doing bio maths econ

My sixth form recently allowed year 13's to do core maths, and I was thinking as a maths student wouldnt it be easy ? so should I do it for the ucas points or not do it and allocate 100% of my time and effort into my a levels?

No don't bother focus on your A levels - most offers are on graes not points.

hi you could very easily smash through it bc it’s like gcse maths - actually even easier for the most part. but i don’t think it’s worth it for ucas points. it would be better to do well in your 3 a levels imo. i did core maths (against my will) and it was super useless and none of my unis cared or recognised it sadly.
