What subject to choose as 3/4 without units 1/2

Hey guys and girls,

So we have subject selection coming up and i have to pick up an 3/4 subject next year without having done units 1/2.

Currently i have chosen further maths as my choice.
Does this subject require units 1/2 to be done before units 3/4?

Also is 3/4 further maths manageable without doing units 1/2 ?

Will there be lots of assumed knowledge or is this covered in 3/4 further?

Many Thanks  :)

Further Maths doesn't require 1/2 to be able to study it the 1/2 units for Further Maths is General Maths Further. You won't be in anyway disadvantaged in doing it without 1/2. I believe there is little assumed knowledge as the content is usually taught again.
 What other subjects are you doing?
What other subjects are you considering?
 I assume your doing Methods 3/4(from your posts), if you are comfortable with Methods you will definitely be able to get a great score for Further. You will still have to study for further as it examines completely different concepts. ;D

I'm an expert in picking up subjects without 1/2!!! I did: psychology, biology and revolutions. Generally, humanities subjects can also be good options but choose whatever interests you.

You should be okay with further maths  :) the main problem I think people have with it is that they label it as an easy subject, and then end up losing marks on really simple things because they don't take it as seriously as they should.
