Ask a person who is doing 11 A-Levels anything
As the title says. Not a Troll. I thought it'd be interesting to discuss my motives behind doing so many A-Levels when only 3 are needed, as well as how I manage to cope with so much work! 
Here's the list:
Philosophy
Physics
Maths
Further Maths
English
Politics
Economics
+ four 'softer' subjects
Sociology
Citizenship
Critical Thinking
General Studies
+ an EPQ

Ok let me frank...
Philosophy, English, Politics are soft subjects.
Also Critical Thinking and General Studies don't really count, considering you do jack all for those subjects and uni's disregard them.
In addition further maths is just a slight extension from AS maths and isn't really an extra a level which is why many sixth forms say you have to do another A level.
So being frank you only really do 3 decent A levels in my opinion, which i'm entitled to say.
And I know people reading this will think, "omg what a snob", but to be honest, OP is the snob here, trying to brag about the number of a levels he does.
Quality> quantity
And reality check to you all employers want rounded people, not people who can just memorise stuff from textbooks.
Finally, many people lie on tsr LIE claiming they have like 15A*s etc, don't be naive enough to fall for it or this thread either.

Why are you doing 11?

Why? 
I F****** crave knowledge. Why would you not want to explain what reality and society is, and also why it is the way it is, and how it came to be. It got to the point where I used to read books wherever I could and whenever; I used to read at half time when playing for my local football team
Also, Politics+Economics+Sociology+Citizenship all work beautifully together. Philosophy, though, is my home turf. That's the subject I couldn't live without.What were your GCSE grades?

What grades have you got?
Thing is, the fact that you are doing 11 A-levels instead of the usual 3 and you have a few "Heavy Subjects" and manage to find time to come on this website, make an account and start a new thread makes me wonder if you really are doing 11?
How do you find the time for that? unless you dont have time but decide to waste it on here.

More importantly, how?
School from 8 till 4, then 3 hours work from 4 till 7 on alternate days, because I have football practice every other day. Saturday I work nigh on 10 hours, then sunday none at all. Don't watch TV, it's ****. Stopped playing video games and have a huge backlog of games to play during next summer
I'd say I'm naturally clever, but I think most people can do as well as me if they followed the routine I do. I might write a book on it one day

That's the subject I couldn't live without.A-levels don't explain everything in comparison to degree level content they are quite simple. So doing 11 of them won't make you that much more knowledgeable about how the world works compared to someone who did 4. Afterall at degree-level you specialise into 1 or two subjects.
I'm doing 13 A levels. I think mine are better:
Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Philosophy, English Literature, French, Spanish, German, Politics/Government, Economics, History.
The only reason why I'm doing 13 A levels, is because I have a voracious passion for learning subjects under a rigorous curriculum that stifles any pure creative thought and leads to only rote memorization. I just love it when I'm compelled to learn something for exam purposes rather than the development of the procedure or any proof. Hurray to indoctrination and the monotonous nature of school!
