Title: Further Math exam module
Post by: Tjsdn on October 13, 2021, 09:10:55 pm
Our school only though us cores and modules 1(matrices) and 2(network).
However, I found module 3(geometry and measurement) easier than module 2(network).
Am I allow to complete modules 1 and 3 instead of module 2?
I asked my school teacher and they say that I should stick with the modules that I learned because it will stuff everyone's score. I don't get why that will stuff everyone's score.
Can somebody tell me the reasons and why I should stick with modules I learned at school? (I'm 100% sure I will do better if I do module 3 because I always get 100% on the practice exam if I pick modules 1 and 3.)

Hi,

I think your teacher said that because you would have lot of resources for the module your school chose. By this I mean that you can pick the module 3 but then you would not really have any practice sheet which your school has. Also you did the sac for module 2 so you might have more knowledge than doing the module 3. But I think if you are confident in doing module 3 then you can do it, it is just that you would then need to spend lot of time focusing on that one topic.

Hope this helps

Forgot to type this but I think you are allowed to do module which your school does not offer it is just about how it could be little bit risky. Just do it if you are 100% confident.
