should i take maths a-level?
I am thinking about my a-level options a lot at the moment because the deadline for my choices is in very soon, problem is...I don't know what to do! 
I am considering maths as I enjoy it and am predicted an A, I got a B in my mock. Can anyone who is taking/or has knowledge about maths a-level offer any advice on my decision? 
Thanks

if you're predicted an A, you should be fine
were you thinking of doing normal maths, or with further maths as well?

What are your future plans if you have any? What profession? Do you want to go to uni?
Yeah, as people said above
I'd say take it because I regret not taking it and it's one of those A levels that's useful for pretty much anything.
im thinking of taking it too but it wud be self taught as well so im not sure.
if you like it then take it
if you like it then take it
Do maths if you're considering anything like economics or engineering for uni, if you enjoy it, and if you think you can do it.
Watch out, though: the end of a2 (especially c4) can get quite tough. be prepared to work hard.
Maths is not an easy a level (except for some very naturally gifted people), but it is quite a good one if you have a good teacher.

I got a B in all my mocks, in fact some Cs! I did lots of work, and beat my predicted A to get an A* Just revise; past paper were so useful to do. I took maths a level in the end; it's really fun, challenging, but fun. Take it! It's such a diverse qualification that will help you get on any course at university, from history and law over to medicine and sciences.

same as this guy!
however...even if your good at maths at GCSE it's a pretty huge gap to A-level so alot of effort invovled..yeah i know that seems pretty obvious but some people think oh i'm good at maths now i'll be good at A-level as well..NO it's quite a bit of work!
Sorry if this put you off it's just my opinion
answer is always yes
its up too you...
I took up physics instead because it was more enjoyable 8-)...
But maths is very highly thought of as a A level

OP, are you considering physics at all?
Do french if you're any good at it. A language teacher who can teach two languages is a very valuable asset.
Can someone describe to me how large the jump in difficulty is between GCSE maths and A level maths?
Considering taking it, just got an A in early entry maths but will probably retake and go for the A*.

well it depends which board your with....
but i'm on OCR (MEI) and i found the first inital difficulty...was just notation...it was totally different to what i learnt at GCSE, first year isn't so bad the knowledge it's self is alright, but applying to exam problems a little harder i found..they can be pretty nasty..
2nd year is when it's gets particularly hard you build on the first year and it gets quite advanced particulary last module C4 thats really hard...(well i find it is anyway)
overall after the first module of first year thats when you really start to learn completly new concepts of maths...from my point of view anyway
