It is different rather than simply easier. There is far less algebra, but every question is set in a real context that has to be read, interpreted and answered in full, with correct units. Learners who assume it needs no study are usually the ones who lose marks.

It can. A number of degrees — including engineering, actuarial science, most physical science programmes and several commerce degrees — require Mathematics rather than Mathematical Literacy. Many other faculties accept it without any issue. Check the specific faculty’s prospectus before deciding, because the requirement differs by institution and by programme.

Finance and measurement, and usually not because the concept is hard. Marks go on unit conversions, rounding at the wrong stage of a calculation, and not showing the working. Those are habits, and habits can be fixed.
