    Hey!

    I'm planning to do Applied Maths for the LC. However my school doesn't offer this subject. Is there any schools/grinds who have a good rep for teaching applied maths? Any price will do me. All recommendations are appricated :).

    You could probably do it at home if you're anyway decent at maths and physics

    Applied maths is a pretty tough subject, If you don't have a good teacher don't bother doing it, I'm currently studying it at the institute of education and it's a lot of work.

    What did you get for maths in the JC? xD I was planning to go the Institute for the grinds.

    Applied Maths really isn't extremely difficult. Get the textbook and follow the worked examples, then test yourself. I'd honestly say 1 grind per chapter after you've done it yourself and you'll be grand.

    There may still be a qualified Applied Maths teacher on your staff, even if the school doesn't offer it as a subject. I would be asking the Maths teachers in your school.

    Makes sense, but my best friend does Applied Maths and he does it outside school, i'm sure if there was a qualified teacher he'll go to one of them, but yea, best to ask just in case :).
