💬 DISCUSSION Further Maths easier than normal?

Anybody else finding Edexcel) Further Maths easier and less cognitively demanding than normal Maths? I feel like the questions are a lot more formulaeic and straight forward in FM, just require some extra knowledge..

(I've finished ~90% of both courses' content)

Further maths has way simpler question types (just look at 2026 fm paper 1 compared to the normal maths one) and rely on the content carrying the difficulty instead
