I am a private candidate and homeschooled. I am currently in IGCSE and I will begin studying for AS in July. However I didn't do add maths but only extended maths 0580. How should I study for a level maths and further maths (keeping in mind i also have physics and chem)?
Should I do a course or get a tutor? Is it recommended to do only maths in 1st year and then do all of further maths in second year to get the experience? what do you think?

I would not do all of FM in y13 skulldistorted i know taking the maths exam in y12 has been known to cause potential issues as some places need your AL in the same session

honestly yea getting a course or tutor will probably help, teaching yourself fm is rlly rlly hard

#

just cash in both courses at A2

I heard some schools not counting it towards conditional offers in the UK, tho I tried to google and Oxford doesn’t have this issue

Well I'm homeschooled as I said above

So how would you suggest studying maths and fm at a levels?

Well I want to do electrical/computer engineering

#

So mechanics might be more helpful

#

Than probability and stats

#

Agreed?

#

correct, but would you be ok if you had to do stats

#

because while cambridge would make you study further mechanics and further stats
edexcel would give you more choice
