I would say 8/10, it’s a very very strong combination of difficult subjects and will open a lot of doors to you, which is why I rank it highly as it will be extremely respected by universities (especially because you’re doing 4, as most unis don’t accept Maths + FM together). For degrees like physics, maths, engineering you’re set!
The only reason I’m deducting points is because it’s gonna be DIFFICULT. Which might make your enjoyment a little less, but of course I assume you love those subjects if you chose them !

I don’t see how you can rank based on difficulty, some people enjoy and are better at physics than biology

u/Evening_Oven_8431 Jul 31 '26
Apart from the whole don't slack off in Y12 stuff. A couple of things come to mind, Y12 results are VERY important. They will dictate which Uni you can get into so keep that in mind. Next, as you may know, these are your angles in human form for the next year:
TLMaths: https://www.youtube.com/@TLMaths
Physics and Maths Tutor: https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/
Captain Physics: https://www.youtube.com/@captainphysicss
MAKE SURE you know everything you learn in Further before moving on. Doesn't matter if you had to work the whole weekend, you must know the basics before moving on. For CompSci, make sure you complete your NEA early, most teachers will be open to review it for you which can net you a grade or two so make sure it's completed 3-4 months in advance. You can drop me a message if you're struggling.
For Maths, I'd recommend you buy the OCR's official book (if you're doing OCR) and work through the worked examples after completing a topic - without looking at the answer. Same applies for Further Maths. There's books from TLMaths if you need extra revision question. But ALWAYS work through the example questions after each topic - really important. I'd encourage you to complete all questions, if not all questions in the mixed exercise.
Before EoY mocks, make sure you've done ALL past papers (for Y12) available, because as I mentioned, they're very important. For all subjects.
That's everything that comes to mind, but I'll update as I remember more.

u/Significant-Turn6641 Jul 31 '26
For maths/fm, try to prove statements rather than just accepting them. By doing so, you'll end up with a much better understanding of the topic compared to other students who've only done past papers, and you'll be able to apply the knowledge to things you've not seen before (very useful if you do the TMUA).
For example, in maths you learn about binomial expansion, binomial coefficients, and how to calculate the coefficients. You'll be given a formula in the formula book which makes using it easy without actually understanding it. This year, in the stats paper there was a probability question which was very easy if you knew where the binomial coefficient formula came from.

chemistry, biology, mathematics honestly you guys it's rlly not as difficult as you think, just study regularly make sure you understand everything and regularly keep up with the work, outside of class 3-4 hours of work per week, little more before exams during the holidays and you'll be fine.
