Maths and Further Maths A Level

Just a quick question. I often read that taking these 2 subjects is somehow easier because it's only really the same time needed as studying for 1.5 A levels. Please can someone point me in the direction if the report that says thus?
Many thanks.

I think if you can master the concepts in further maths then the maths A level seems easier and you could get through the syllabus quicker than someone just studying maths on its own. But that obviously only works if you are mathematically minded enough to manage further maths comfortably.

DS started work on both, but dropped F. Maths as he did find Maths as a whole quite a challenge. Because it's modular at the moment, you can use some of your A level modules towards F. Maths (I think), so I can see what you mean about cutting down on the work. However, that's only if you have a brain that can do this stuff!!! Grin
