should i take add maths?

[tawdry frigate]

im giving phy chem maths in mj 25 (completing my igs), i havent done much of the maths syllabus (only numbers, algebra, and currently on basic geometry)
is it a good idea to take add maths (idk how the workload is an genuinely im not very good at allocating enough time for studying)? i plan on taking fm in a levels alongside phy maths cs

and yes im gonna pursue cs

doing Add Maths means that you can get a head start on the A level content for maths
all of pure 1 as well as a bit of pure 3

I'd recommend trying to study any remaining IG maths content you have first, and practice so that you can get that A*

[tawdry frigate]

ic, so worst case scenario i drop add maths and have it easier in AS?

[languid rampart]

exactly

[tawdry frigate]

ah

[languid rampart]

if you've decided you're going to do FM then you have plenty of time to work towards that

[tawdry frigate]

hmm yea

[languid rampart]

like depends on how quickly you can selfstudy too

[tawdry frigate]

i have a hard time studying for extended periods of time

so like ig i'd be a bit slow

rn plan should be maths -> addmaths phy chem in terms of what im studying?

[languid rampart]

yeah

[tawdry frigate]

okay ty

@languid rampart ||sorry for ping||
instead of going for addmaths, should i be studying A level maths instead?
since FM requires you to complete AL maths

[languid rampart]

well they're kind of the same thing, cause they overlap in pure 1

and yes there is permutations and combinations in both of those, no escaping that

really it's just that Cambridge has packaged the same info into two bundles
one of those is more manageable and has all the essentials, but it isn't as complete
one of those is more complete but it's a lot of content

the first bundle is Add Maths and the second one is A levels

[tawdry frigate]

hmm ic, what would you recommend?

[languid rampart]

whatever suits you

[tawdry frigate]

😭 😭

[languid rampart]

fine, Add Maths

but also check out AL p1 papers

[tawdry frigate]

haha

[tawdry frigate]

hmm ic ty

[tawdry frigate]

actually

can i use add maths as kind of an introduction?

and just not give the exam

[languid rampart]

yeah

that's what I was thinking as well

might as well aim for the AS exam

[tawdry frigate]

||great minds think alike ||

[tawdry frigate]

hmm yeaa ig thats what ill do ty
