As far as I know Further Maths has been an HL course for not that long (2 years maybe), so if you read some older topics when it was an SL course, you might find people state exactly that 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibstudent321 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Can I just jump in here and say that you should keep your uni course in mind before taking Math Studies as some of them don't accept studies as a valid maths subject. Math SL would always be better methinksyea but if Oxbridge are fine with studies I doubt any other Uni would care, unless you're going into some scientific or math related field. If you're going for social sciences then meh just take studies... Not all social sciences are fine with maths studies. Subjects like economics require HL and even psychology requires SL.

That's true, but in the UK, Psychology is a Science more than a Social Science. And Economics is very Maths based. It is really important to check the entry requirements for the degree you apply for before choosing your subjects. And sometimes, going a level higher than necessary may be beneficial e.g. I'm doing a Business Studies degree. I have taken SL (got a 5, unfortunately). Some people have taken Studies/not taken Maths at A-level, and it wasn't a requirement for entry, but they're now struggling big time with financial maths that I'm doing very well in, partially thanks to my background in SL maths. So think not only of entry requirements, but also what the course will require of you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duarte Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 I don’t know whether I should take Maths either HL or SL. I’ve always had great marks but in my native language and I’m currently doing the 10th grade ( not the MYP) and I’m afraid of being pretty difficult ( I’m referring to Maths HL).

kw0573 Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 @duarte If you are superb at Maths, you should look to take one of the new HL courses; if you are average, take AA SL, if you are very bad at Maths, take AI SL.
