would a B predicted hurt my application badly?

Hi chat, I've just started y13 and I've completed 2 full a-levels and achieved A* A (psychology and maths), I currently have 3 predicted A*s (bio, econ + my native language which doesn't rly count lol) alongside my 2 full alevels. My school forces me to take up further maths in y13 bcuz they said not having 3 a-levels in y13 will make unis suspicious. I might get a B predicted in further maths cuz i rly can't do maths😭😭😭 would this B hurt my application especially to Oxford or UCL 😭

I would suggest using Woody Maths (well worth the small investment) and YouTube: ExamSolutions, TLMaths, BicenMaths and HindsMaths. Bicen and Woody are Oxford graduates and ExamSolutions is a UCL graduate. πŸ˜›

I wonder which papers you've chosen for Further Maths? FM1? FM2? FP1? FD1? FS1? 😧

Woody Maths has a CIE A-Level Maths course and the Edexcel Further Maths course is very similar to CIE. πŸ™‚ I highly recommend it. You will assure yourself an A* grade in A-Level CIE Maths next year and at least an A in A-Level Further Maths maybe A*. πŸ˜‰
