This is not the best course of action. Although no rule inhibits it, Unis will see it as you are taking the easy way out....

Yes but Edexcel is too easy. Why do you want it this way?

Edexcel is SUPER easy.

CIE, will kill you and make you mad everything you hear the word "Math". It was made by the devil himself tbh.

Even Mr. Paul said once that it takes him a while to solve the thing sometimes.

I reckon the edexcel further maths syllabus is about 1/3 easier than cie
It is a lot different. Like a googly in cricket
