he seems too preppy and alive to be a maths student
HAHA
everyone has been putting me of taking maths a level but this has been comforting so honestly thank you
I’m so glad to hear that! 😌🥳
Do it!
I always tell students that they haven't actually studied any maths until year 13. After Y12, it starts to become a far more dynamic subject.
As they say - the most creative people in this world are musicians and mathematicians :D
@@HarrySurplus Is the TI-36X Pro calculator allowed for the new A level maths and further maths, or is only the TI- 30X pro calculator allowed for A level maths and further maths? As I have not got the casio fx981EX calculator as of yet due to the recent Corona virus pandemic and lockdown restrictions but as my older brother has kindly let me borrow his Texas Instruments calculators he used. As I am taking A level Edexcel maths. I was therefore wondering if you could possibly have any advice thanks, Tom.
@@mathstutor87 Exactly. Not just mathematicians but even students who study maths. There's a lot of out of the box thinking involved once the problems get harder
how is it going so far? Im in yr 11 and wanting to do it
Thanks for this ! I have been worried about taking a level but I think I am. I am working around grade 7 but with lockdown I haven’t revised much. Need to get back on it
Best of luck for a level!
Same, I’ve literally forgotten everything
I am working at an 8 and have never revised lol
Thank you for this vid, very helpful!
Love this! Thank you so much!
im just over here looking for videos to help me with my a levels and i just fell in love with this dude. he looks so smart
yay thanks for watching! ♥️
Loved the way he asked his mother to keep the noise down. Things have certainly changed since my day.
This was so helpful. Thank you.
Core maths is the basic maths needed for other a level subjects, worth the same as an AS I believe. It’s between GCSE and A level difficulty (though nearer to GCSE). :)
Dont fall for the core maths meme
@@asaL934 Is core maths not a good subject to take?
@@ibrahims907 it's a btec, take it by all means but dont think of it as a substitute for a level maths
@@asaL934 I know its a Btec, I’m considering on taking it in year 13 as some universities consider that as an alternative if your gcse maths grades aren’t at a grade 6
thank you! just been told im working at a 9 and feeling better about taking maths, although some people are telling me my choices are not going to challenge me enough since I am working well now, but I'm feeling okay about everything :)
@@Charlotte-wk1dy thank you for the kindness!!
Fantastic. Well done on the 9! 👏🏼
Awesome video!
hello harry! i’m currently a 10th grade student (going 11th in september) and not doing GCSEs, but i’m planning to take A levels as an independent student for 11-12th grade with no schools teaching me, just online resources and textbooks, is it still possible to study it? i do struggle with math a bit, but any tips or advice would be highly appreciated! 🙏
I had calculus for math and physics majors at U Iowa -- no calculator allowed on any of the exams. Try adding strings of improper fractions left over from integration under a time limit ;)
this is genuinely so useful thank youuu :D at the moment i’m doing my add maths GCSE, do you think that this will help for a level? Thanks :)
ruthy Thank you! & yes any extra maths will be useful! 👍🏼
Hi bro, do we need to get 90 individually in P3 and P4 for A star or overall 180 is needed for A star.
I love you Harry you've changed my life
Zack N hi Zack
Wow! Very cool!
Zack N thank you!
DUDE I was also in a similar position to you I was a grade 4 in year 8, jumped to a 8 in year 9, and then a 9 in year 10 and 11 because I started trying hard and ended up enjoying the subject, also I got a tutor. Maths takes dedication. I'm going to he taking further maths a level so I'm very scared as my self confidence is low I hope I can do it
Yes, getting a tutor can really help, I know people who have gone from a C in GCSE maths to an A grade at A level maths because they got a tutor over the summer holidays and actually started to understand the concepts.
best of luck with further maths!
great video really helpful.
Hey Harry wonder if you could help me I'm utterly useless at math's.
Im going to get underlay for my bedroom carpet. My Room is 118inch X 135inch . What Square foot is that space?
Right now I am doing GCSE stats and im currently getting high grade 6 in my mocks would this grade help me alot in A level or will i have to learn some completely new things all together?
Great video bud. Keep it up!
Thank you so much!! 😁
@@HarrySurplus yeah no problem man, you deserve more clout because you really are supportive
Hey Harry! I will be doing my A-levels as an independent student as your videos help me a lot. I intend to do the AQA exam board, do you know if I can just do the A-level exams or if I also have to do the AS exams in order to get my a-level certification?
i think it's just the A Level exam! sorry for late reply. but double check
I loved your vid!!
thank you! 😊
Hi! I am in year 10 and will be going to year 11 in September. I want to work something related with business and economics and I have asked my teacher if I should do maths a level. He said to get into top universities, i definitely have to. I am okay with maths but I have trouble with algebra. Is a level maths mostly algebra? I'm not good at physics. I am good with other topics in maths except for algebra. I enjoy the topics i understand but not the hard topics- what do you recommend?
Hello! A Level Maths is very useful for business & economics related careers. A Level maths is heavily algebra based, but not all algebra. It is a vital skill you will need to learn to take a level, but as long as you have the basics (factoring, expanding, quadratics, algebraic fractions, trig) then you should be ok because these topics are slightly recapped & then built on at a level. I would recommend you do it! It is a fun course!
nauur cuz i wanna take alevel, being in y11 and just nearing my first proper mocks im thinking of taking alevel and although I was extremely belittled throughout secondary school and considered not put out for math, I've gone into highest set and am prepping for alevel :) like im averaging around 9s and one 7 throughout y10-11 and am fully prepared to sit my first mock. this video genuinely helped to calm my nerves LOLL thanks
Best of luck!
I was wondering if you need both calculators? Or if I’m fine with just the graphical one?
Nope, you don’t need both! I have a video on the calculators on my channel
halp i have a dilemma
on one hand, i LOVE maths with a passion so much so that it might be the cause of my loneliness. im definitely doing it in my a-levels next year, and i'm really tempted to do further maths too as a fourth subject.
however, my time management is bad and so is my motivation if i get bored (this doesn't apply to maths, maths is never boring). i'm pretty set on doing physics and chemistry too, which are known to be hard a-levels, so im worried that doing further maths on top of this will be too much.
i think i'll be picking these subjects because i enjoy them a lot and they are my strongest ones at the moment, but arghh help
Of course it will be hard work doing 4 a levels (especially doing further maths as there is so much to learn), but if you enjoy maths and have a passion for the subject i'd 100% take further maths, it really develops your knowledge! - physics is also great to do along further maths!
I may be a bit late coz your either in the same boat as me currently or you dropped one, I’ve basically had to let chemistry go and accept that I don’t have the time to get an A* in all 4. further maths and physics take up most of my time and maths barely any because FM improves your normal maths a lot
Thankyou. Very reassuring
glad it was reasurring!
Thank u so much!
Hi, i was trying to check out your book on the web address you have provided but it is apparently not live or perhaps domain connected to the website...
My book isn't available anymore :( sorry
You can also play games on the calculator
Do you have any advice on integration and how to know what method of integration to use as I’m struggling so much. Thanks
Kinda late but its down to practice and just seeing a lot of different situations. Don't be afraid to grt things wrong and follow ideas that you come up with that might not lead to the answer. Generally, IBP it's best for products of functions or of you have a function which you can differentiate using u= f(x) and dv/dx =1. Remember that a lot of the time when you have fractions, partial fractions is really useful and also re writing the numerator and breaking up the fraction into multiple fractions can help. Use substitution for fractions with complicated denominators as it's easier to work with a complicated numerator and also use it when you can spot a derivative being cancelled out or a trig identity. Also remember to look for f'(x) /f(x) because that just integrates to ln(x) 👍🏽👍🏽
Hi I’m looking to take maths, business, economics and history, I mainly want to do engineering more specifically aeronautic or civil. Will I need physics or other science as a must because I don’t want to take science. Also, if I have to can I take applied science for engineering
Don't take business as it's basically economics but simpler. Uni's always prefer econ than business, I don't know if you need physics but as you're taking maths it definitely has elements of physics in it
If you’re looking into engineering, physics is a must have. As Seth said, don’t take business. You should pick physics instead of business and if you don’t like it you have a couple weeks where you can switch A-Levels (however this would result in you being a bit behind on content).
@@johnfalcon1631 what’s wrong with business studies? I’m wanting to be a stock broker and people are telling me it’s a must have subject for it
Could i use a texas instruments 83 for a level?
HELP- I got a 9 in maths but idk if I should do it. I’ve always been told ‘don’t do maths if you don’t need it cuz it’s very hard’ so I picked economics instead but I don’t have an interest in it. I forgot everything in maths cuz of the summer (except basics ofc) but idk if I should pick it. What do you think?
If you’re already good at maths & enjoy it then consider taking it. Don’t listen to anybody else apart from yourself. If you want to do - do it. If you don’t, don’t! 😁
@harry surplus i got a grade 6 in maths gcse this year i really do want to take A level maths but im quite nervous whats the best way to get good grades in maths A level such as a grade 9 hopefully how do you improve
I've uploaded a video on how to get better at maths which includes lots of tips! ua-cam.com/video/AP-3blSFVCU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=HarrySurplus
I got a 6 in GCSE maths and let me tell practice is key, there’s a lot more maths at a level maths and it’s more understandable maths in my opinion
What is this difference between As-level and A-levels??
Is Casio fx991ex allowed for Cambridge a level maths examination?
yes, its
If i apply a level math so i give some test i am new in london plzzz tell me i am 16 year old
Is that an imagesound usb stick?
how much will you struggle if you don’t interact with the class/lesson?
i’m very very bad at doing so and i’m worried it’ll impact me greatly
You’ve got to interact with lessons!
starting a level in a couple weeks, I’m extremely confused as universities require a* maths for computer science. I’m not strong with maths (grade 6) but I got a 9 in computer science. What should I do?
Take maths or check othe university requirements
Hello! If you want to do computer science and they require maths then definitely take maths. Maths comes with practice so keep practising!
I got a 6 in maths but I’m currently working at an A/B from AS - I know people who got a 9 in maths and are working at E’s and D’s so GCSEs don’t define you and what you are working at
A tutor can really help, it has taken people from a C grade to and A Grade, a tutor will really help you understand the concepts which is the whole point of maths, understanding and applying concepts.
@courtney literally i really want to do it
“for there to be an exam you have to get taught lots of maths”. there also has to not be a pandemic 🤓
whoops
No that you are studying F maths what are you doing at uni and what is your career goals like what do you want your job to be
i'm doing a maths degree!
is it is possible to get decend grade in a2 after having bad grade in as level?
if you're willing to work and practice maths ... then anything is possible i say
I haven’t studied physics in my GCSE! Would i struggle doing mechanics???
Nope! You shouldn’t
would the first calculator still do all the stuff i need for a level?
yes!
I did maths b and further pure maths in igcse and i got 5 for maths b n a 3 for fpm can i still do a level maths??
yh
oh daMN I can't even focus, you're gorgeous AHA
wow thanks haha ... now FOCUS
He really is🙈
GURL ikr like how 👀
@@b4brigitte what!
Can someone explain what are grade 6/7 he’s referring to?
GCSE grades!
I’m proper worrying about A level maths, because I’ve been accepted for A level maths but I’ve never even done a higher paper, I’ve only done 1.5 months of maths. I barley know any Higher gcse maths, and it’s a week until I go back rip.
@Red Wall I got a 151/ 160 intermediate, which is a 40 marks over a B , and got predicted an A*. I don't know numbers as I'm doing wjec, but I'm still really unsure weather I'll be able to cope,. I know I can pick it up easy, but don't want to be kicked out because im taking longer on GCSE higher bits bc I've never done it.
Is there geometry?
Play in 1.25x, much better 👍🏼
I’m playing in 2x lol
i got a grade 6 in my mocks, do you think i should still do a level maths or is the jump too big?
I got a 7 in maths and im struggling doinmaths alevel only do it if u really love it and don’t care abt your social life
@@Deezmxc damn so it's really that hard
Please help me! I thought i wanted to do computer science, and i am currently predicted a grade 8 in it. However i have to do maths along side of it, and i really struggle! Im barely a grade 7 (but that is only because i have a great teacher and i try REALLY hard) i would dread taking maths as it is so hard. I dont know what to do!!!!
Also this has given me so much confidence thank you!!
Hellloo! Glad you found the video useful! A level maths is challenging & can be hard at times, but it’s definitely a good a level to have if your wanting to do computer science. Like I said in the video you are slowly introduced to a level topics & it’s not really hard as soon as you start. If you are willing to work, you want to do well & have a positive mindset I’m sure you would be able to do a level maths. Like you said, you’re trying really hard at the minute and are on a grade 7 so that’s brilliant. Most colleges require a grade 6/7 for a level maths. Hope that answer helped you slightly! Keep me updated on what you decide to do!!
@@HarrySurplus thank you so much!!! It has given me so much confidence in my decision! I will definitely let you know!
the website isnt working
I got a 6 in maths and my sixth form has allowed to me to take it for a levels do you think I would be able to cope as ppl have been putting me off
Absolutely!
I got a 6 and I may not be allowed, I'll have to fight for it!
Jezmo why’s that? The entry requirement to do a level maths is a 6 in my school
Jezmo anyways good luck !
Furthermathssupport hi I appreciate the help but I’ve clicked on the click and it’s saying the server cannot be found
I thought you just need to pick either statistics or mechanics !! am I wrong ? pleas answer
It may have changed ! This video was filmed a while ago when I was doing my a levels
i went from a grade 2 a couple months ago and now i’m getting a 7 cuz i revise so hopefully i get a 7 for my final gcse :)
That’s like the same with me, I started this school year in Foundation being ungraded and now I recently got a 6 on my test. I just did any math mock and it went pretty good since I revised a lot for it, I hope I get a 7.
@@muzamilyasin8360 what do you use to revise? could you give me any sources by any chance or advice?
fantastic! well done
I didn't realise how vital folders are 😂 one month in and already completed my first pure mathematics folder
lol
is the graphical calculator allowed in exams?
it was allowed when i did my a levels, but do check with the exam boards regulations!
Hi want to become an engineer and for most engineering maths physics is needed everyone i speak to says maths is really hard.at A level im currently about a grade 7 at gcse maths shud i take Maths a level and is it as hard as people say
I would definitely take a level maths for engineering!
Bro same
I really hope I get a 9 in gcses but I'm soooo scared ngl😭😭
I got a grade 5 GSCE and my teachers have told me I cant do A level maths, and advised me to take gsce higher paper, or should i just pick another A level subject, Please help
Hello! It's hard to give you an answer as I'm not 100% sure on your situation, but like I mentioned in the video most colleges/sixth forms require a grade 6 or above to do a level maths. If you're wanting to do a maths or maths related degree at university then do speak to your teachers again to see what you can do, because you will need a level maths for a maths or maths related degree. However, if you're your not thinking of that then maybe do have a look at other a levels you can take and which will suit you! Hope that helps 😌
What do you think about the combination of Maths, further maths, business and media studies for a computer science degree?
thats good, you need maths for a comp sci degree, but why not take comp sci for ur a levels?
@@flixemerson4191 my school doesn’t do it and I also didn’t do the best at it as I was dumb and didn’t revise it at all at gcse. My school does offer a btec in IT but i can’t do further maths if I pick jt
@@QuandaleRizzler32 ok fair, i would say just do some coding and learn about computer science at home through sixth form so you wont be so behind when you get to uni
@@flixemerson4191 I was thinking about doing a gap year for uni where I would focus on learning code and computer science knowledge
@@QuandaleRizzler32 nahhh dont think its necessary, plus you might forget ur maths knowledge.
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 bro
What if someone hasn’t studied physics in gcse and now they’re planning to take maths in A levels? Does it make any difference?
Nope I wouldn’t think so
so i want to take a level maths to help with physics, but i’m at a level 5/6 rn and will probably get a 6 at gcse. do you think it’s worth it?
You might find it hard
at a 5/6 you may need to work harder than others at 7/8/9 however, if you enjoy maths & are willing to work then its definitely possible
@@HarrySurplus I got a grade8 in maths, I want to do it also with business studies and economics. Any opinions on if I should do it. Have to get them submitted by monday
For my school, we need at least grade 6 in GCSE maths to get into A Level Maths. We get given maths books to write on. So money saved for us 😂
I got a 9 in maths and want to do A level maths this September however I am not so good with physics do you think this will heavily affect my understanding of the mechanics topic??
BTW great video, it was very interesting and informative. 👍
I also got a 9 in maths but idk if I should do it. I’ve always been told ‘don’t do maths if you don’t need it cuz it’s very hard’ so I picked economics instead but I don’t have an interest in it.

@@hafsamohamed9290 A level maths is difficult I agree but A levels are entirely your choice and what you feel you will enjoy don't put yourself in a subject your not gonna enjoy, trust me follow your heart and make the decision that will suit you best. ☺
@@K_10107 how is a level maths, did you pick it?
@@zq1921 Yep, I'm in yr13 so A levels will be this year. It was difficult at the beginning because it is a big jump from GCSE and a lot harder as it is not as easy to get to the answer however with lots of exam practice I feel my confidence is a lot better.
@@K_10107 damn thanks for the help. Also I want to ask should I get a folder for a level maths or will a notebook be ok
I love the way you say years😭😭 “YeaYEars”
thank you hahahaha
Wait you guys get two hrs we are barely allowed 1 and a half hour
Is Casio fx991ex suitable for gsce
I've had a search online and I think it is. Do check with your school though as the calculator has functions that you won't use at GCSE ,so might be better to get a different one such as the Casio FX-85GTX!
Ok
Is Casio fx cg50 suitable for gsce
for some reason your website isn’t working, it says ‘look like this domain isn’t connected to a website yet’
hellooo! My website isn’t live anymore unfortunately!
@@HarrySurplus Is your book still available? I want to buy it as i’m at a 6/7 in maths right now but want to take a level and prepare for it :)
I'm terrified of maths. I've decided to taken it ( I got a grade 7 ). Before stepping into my first lesson my maths teacher talked to me and a few other student privately and told us that we were most likely going to fail, and was really pushing us to move to another subject.
At least your teacher was honest 😂
@@w7n424 that's really the last thing I want to read right now..
Bro honestly I had the same concern I got a 6 at GCSE and am doing A level maths now finding it pretty easy so far. Don't worry about your grades just make sure you like maths. If you genuinely enjoy maths you will do well.
agreed!
@@InexorableVideos wont be easy in a2 haha
If I had grade 5
Will I able to take a levels maths?
are you ? pls respond
@@skoldzz5425 no
Later I dropped it...
Am I good with it
im predicted a 7 in gcse and i was thinking of doing it for a level but i dont think ill be able to handle it
As someone who’s doing A level maths and got a 7 at GCSE it’s not as hard as people make it out. You just need to revise a couple hours a week which you should do anyway
@@wasd4542 Exactly. But further mathematics is a lot harder
@@wasd4542 Like in A level maths if you understand all the concepts and know al the formulas and stuff then it shouldn't be really that hard. But in further mathematics there are questions which really require out of the box thinking and stuff
A level maths just relies on how much you understand concepts. If you want to challenge yourself take further mathematics
if you're willing to work hard and challenge yourself then you'll be great! it's when you don't interact with your class and ask questions you struggle
Hi,
Can you please tell me the frequency you 're-revised a topic like was it every week/month?
Thanks
Depends on the topic! Definitely focus on the topics you find more difficult
@@HarrySurplus Thanks for your reply. Can you remember the frequency you re-revised triginometry?
Statistics is awful, complete bore. Pure and mechanics is cool though : )
That depends on how it is being taught. Also keep in mind that many people like to lie to you with statistics. Being able to identify those lies gives you an edge in real life situations. Despite my love of physics, I would say that to the average person knowing some statistics is more useful than knowing some mechanics. If you know both, great for you!
Price of that calculator has basically doubled.

Everyone in the comment section do be talking about Maths whilst I'm here like I'm fvcking screwed because my teachers shoved Further Maths as a Fourth A Level onto me and I don't have the heart to tell them I want to drop it but at the same time I'm spending 15 hours out of lesson time a week tryna learn the content at home cos I cant get through it at school and I'm stoll struggling more than my other smarty pants classmates who were top of grade last year ;-;
Same and I can’t deal with it 😭😭
@@neighbourhoodcircus xD I want to drop it so bad but right now I'm trying to change Bio to Economics so I gotta wait for a bit longer :( If I can't get economics then I have to chose between bio or further maths to drop -w-
Candii oh vid that sounds so hectic, I need to do maths for what I want to study in university so I’m basically screwed 😭are you in first year like ?
@@neighbourhoodcircus Yep, I'm first year! I finally changed from Bio to Economics and my Bio teacher was NOT happy, she pulled me aside when we were lining up and she was SO salty lol xD I felt kinda bad but welp economics is actually a huge jump in difficulty from Bio so I'm not regretting my decision right now, though rumor as it that my school is getting ready to surprise us with some papers in October so I hope I can quickly catch up on content XD
Candii oh god yeah same we have our mocks in November and I am not prepared at all 😭I genuinely hate maths and chemistry so much and I’m terrible at them but I have to push through and get on with it😅what a bitch, why were they so salty like ? Do you live down south cause everyone up north does their first papers in November time ? I’m also first year !!
The jump he says……….. you mean you are diving headfirst to hell……maths at gcse is NOTHING to A-level it’s been a week and I an already done with it………
hang in there and keep working, you got this!
I got a gcse grade 4, I might do a level maths
BlackAmex Vlogs really 😏
Bruh
This comment is almost a bit sad really
Im not trying to be rude but dont , with a 4 u probably wont even be allowed in
thats a c- at gcse which is only 20% to get. u will have no shot at a level maths m8
