Arguably, it may be wise to secure a 9 in standard Maths, rather than risk scoring a 7 and a lower than hoped for score in FM.<\/p>\n<p>However, for those who feel they have the skills, passion, and desire to do well in the subject, Further Maths at GCSE can be a great addition to their academic record.\u00a0 The content of GCSE Further Maths is only a small step below A Level Maths, which means if you are considering pursuing this as an option at college, you\u2019ll already be ahead of the curve.\u00a0 In turn, this means you\u2019re more likely to secure a higher grade in this particular exam when the time comes.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any aspirations to take A Level Further Maths, studying it at GCSE level first will take the pressure off your a Level Maths studies, and free your time up to concentrate on the FM element of your exams.\u00a0 The reality is, the harder you work at GCSE, the easier your studies are likely to be (comparatively) at A Level.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1584\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tutorspot.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Online-Tutor-70.jpg\" alt=\"GSCE Student in online maths tuition\" width=\"1200\" height=\"809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tutorspot.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Online-Tutor-70.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.tutorspot.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Online-Tutor-70-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tutorspot.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Online-Tutor-70-1024x690.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tutorspot.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Online-Tutor-70-768x518.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Why take Further Maths?<\/h3>\n<p>Maths is, without a doubt, one of the core subjects for Colleges and Universities throughout the UK.\u00a0 Securing a good grade at any level, whether that\u2019s solely GCSE Maths, or up to A Level Further Maths, will always ensure you have better options when it comes to choosing the next steps on your academic path.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to consider what you may want to do when it comes to a future career or course. Some degree courses such as Economics, Finance, Medicine, and Engineering may require Further Maths as a prerequisite for securing a place.\u00a0 Others such as Psychology, Biology and Physics may be happy to accept A Level Maths or a good grade at GCSE level.<\/p>\n<p>The reality is, having Maths or Further Maths under your belt is never going to hamper your opportunities when it comes to choosing your degree course.\u00a0 Maths provides you with a wide range of transferable skills such as logical thought, analytical reasoning and problem solving.

Instead, they are there to help you solely with the areas you need additional help with to make the progress you want to do.\u00a0 Whilst your tutor will undoubtedly have other students they will be working with, when they are doing a session with you, you have their undivided attention.\u00a0 This is something no student experiences within the school setting; instead, you have to compete for one-to-one support with the rest of your classmates, and time will always be limited.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to secure a higher grade in any of your maths GCSEs or A Levels, find out more about our unique <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tutorspot.co.uk\/tutoring\/maths\/\">maths tutors<\/a> today.
