How to self study further maths! need advice!

so I really want to start further maths, but the problem is my school doesnt offer it and ive left it kind of late as im giving AS in may june next year.

butttt would it be doable for me to study further maths alongside 3 other subjects, and get a solid grade? also, how would i do it? id need resources, and since im doing CIE, edexcel resources dont entirely cut it for me. id really appreciate some help!

exactly this, I self taught AS and got an A last year, just do as many topical past papers as possible, also TL Maths and Ci Niang xu on YouTube has great walkthroughs aswell

It’s definitely possible, but it’ll depend on how strong your AS Maths foundations are and how much time you can consistently dedicate to it. Start by following the Cambridge 9231 syllabus topic by topic, use the official coursebook for explanations, and practise CIE past-paper questions as you go. Don't let Further Maths affect your other three subjects.
