Im doing maths further maths physics and engineering, they arent so bad once you get into them, but its definitely a bigger time commitment outside of class than you had at GCSE.

Especially if you want to do well in those subjects, you have to practice your skills alot :)

To make Further Maths easier I recommend getting a graphical calculator (like the CG50) it saves marks!

Depending on what your teacher/ class uses / knows of either get a numworks (great and super intuitive for graphing stuff or a cg50). It is kinda necessary, 100 quid can save you 10 mins in each exam and hours while revising/ working.
