How difficult is Cambridge maths really?

I would love to apply to Cambridge maths but I don't do the best under stress. How difficult genuinely is the course and is there a high chance I hate it? Is the workload immense if you're not some maths prodigy? I got an A* in maths in year 12 and I'm predicted A*AA this year with A* in further maths.

I think the minimum requirement is A*A*A for most science course at Cambridge but I could be wrong. Check the course entry requirements to be sure.

I think OP may not be including their A* in Maths, so their overall set of grades may be A*A*AA
