It's not that the information is useless, quite the contrary if you go through six form. It's just that, by comparison to mathematics where you often use processes to find more data within data, you are taking in information and later spitting it onto a piece of paper with zero alterations.
But with mathematics you are learning and practicing a skill, those processes of finding additional data with limited information, and proving that you are proficient at carrying out those processes in an exam.
I mean idk it's just memorizing formulas and punching it into a calculator. And the result is just a number that's either the answer or another number to put into another formula
