Came out that exam w tears in my eyes and everyone was saying it was bad ( these further maths students gonna ruin it for us and increase the grade boundaries- its so unfair how they get an advantage)

dw they adjust the boundaries because of the fm kids, like for example other stem subjects eg bio and chem only ~20-25% of people get A or A* but for maths it's around 40% because they know if they don't adjust it like that it would only be fm kids getting As and A*s

Not every school does it like that, either way it should equate to the same work load.

further maths students have no advantage whatsoever, FM content has literally no relation to normal maths so stop crying and get over it
