“Studying both Maths and Further Maths has allowed me to develop my interest in Maths and become a more independent, logical student. I would definitely recommend taking both A Levels if you have an interest in the subject as I have progressed a massive amount over the past two years, aided by the support of Carmel’s Maths teachers.
The Maths department at Carmel offers tutorials and one-to-one support and there are lots of resources to help you progress in your subjects. We had the opportunity to take part in the UKMT, a national yearly maths challenge, where you can apply your maths skills to problem solving.
I have particularly enjoyed the added complexity of Further Maths, especially the mechanics modules which provide applications to real life. By taking both Maths and Further Maths, I feel much more prepared to move onto university where I hope to study Maths and Actuarial Science.”
