    Go for it and you should be fine :thumb:, if I had known at the start how much I would enjoy maths, I would have done further as well.

    Sorry for thread revival, but:
    dragontail, for maths, I did Edexcel modules Core 1-4, Further Pure 1-3, Mechanics 1-5, Statistics 1-4, Decision 1-2, which makes 18 modules, or 3 A levels. I don't think very many schools/colleges offer all those.
    In terms of how much time it takes, I did all my A levels, about 6 hours of rowing per week, about 45 minutes of prefect duties every day, did the layout for the school newspaper (32 pages every 3 weeks, took about 7 hours each time), and had time to spend about 2 hours socialising and an hour on MSN every night and get pissed every friday and saturday night. However, I ended up in a routine where I'd only sleep between 2am and 6:45am every day for weeks at a time, and I now have a receding hairline, so there we go...

    So short answer: as Ramble said, triple science with maths and further maths is great if you enjoy the subjects, but don't even consider it unless you're pretty damn bright and willing to try to make it work. There's no point in doing more than 3 or 4 unless you're confident you'll get straight As.

    If you translate 'prefect duties' to 'drinking with housemaster and other prefects' then yes, I did 'do' them. Most of the rest were delegated, as profqwerty said... :p
