What scores are needed to get a study score of 40 In further mathematics

[popoy111]

I am doing Further Mathematics next year and just wondering if I was to get a : 40 in Further Mathematics what results will I need for Every Sac/ Exam.

37+/40 in Exam 1, 50+/60 in Exam 2. Rank 1 SACs.
More importantly, ignore the results and aim for 100% in everything always.

sac results get moderated to your exam result so i cant really tell you what sort of sacs scores youd need, cause sacs vary in difficulty from one school to the next (but try getting 85%+ as your baseline). But in terms of the exams, you would need 88%~92% depending on year (a low A+, more simply). Further is all about being very careful and meticulous in the exams though, so i would start making a habit of aiming for 100% as much as possible, to increase your chances at getting your desired score. Half the battle is attitude. Go into sacs/exams thinking you have the potential to get 100%, not matter how hard the questions look. Good luck and I hope you get your 40

Depends a lot on ranking. Was rank one got 40/40 and 52ish/60 and got 46. To get high the main aspect is being careful.

You have a chance if you aren't rank 1. It isn't a complete necessity. I was rank 2 and the only person to 40+ Further at my school. It depends on the cohort, really. Best to make sure you're ranked as highly as possible.

For further I recommend you understand the theory first then do questions from distinct resources. Also keep a log book of the mistakes you make as will be of great benefit towards exam time.

Yhh awesome cause previously for exams i have basically redone all my my work again is this a good way?

Yeah it's alright. Can't think much else for further as it becomes repetitive.

Giving it more thought here is some stuff I would have done differently if I had to do further again:
> be calm during sacs and alert. Don't go in the 'this is too easy' mode as critical errors slip in easily in this state. Working attentively is hard given the subjects content at time but with repetition it develops and actually helps with other subjects.
> actual know the theory (you shouldn't really need a summary book)
> Know your calculator well (doesn't matter if you were on the right track if you type the wrong numbers in the calc)
> do the easier models (especially for the exam)
