Should I be doing further?

A few teachers have told me it's not recommended to do two maths subjects. I like maths and I'm good at it, there are no other subjects I want to do. And I'm not doing it because people think it's 'easy', because it's not

There is definitely a 'line' between the two (e.g. Further is suited to those who don't require methods but want some form of maths in their VCE program).

I don't see why anyone would judge you for doing two maths. If you really want to do it, stick with it....

P.S - Further is not 'easy'. Just sayin.

I chose further as one of my subjects and it's not too late to change yet, but a few teachers have told me it's not recommended to do two maths and some of them have judged me for doing further and methods

I like maths and I'm good at it, there's no other subjects I want to do, so I'm not doing it because I think it's 'easy'

Do you like maths? Yep!
Are you more interested in other subjects? Doesn't sound like it.
Is Further taking the place of a subject you need as a pre-req? I doubt it, but worth checking.

Sounds like you should be doing Further to me. :)
