i am debating whether to drop maths at AS level. pls can someone with knowledge and experience answer my Qs.
for AS this year, 2016, on AQA exam board i got;
Core 1: 73ums = B
Core 2: 99ums = A
Statistics 1: 100 ums = A
got an A overall
and i revised as hard as i could. i never really deeply understood the mathematical processes (although i tried) i more just learnt how to do the processes and did p much every single past paper since 2008.
I am worried that the core 3, core 4, and mechanics 1 modules i have to take for A2 will be too hard for me to ever understand, and I want an A grade overall.
i don't want to pursue maths further than a level study, i enjoy it, but i want to do a history with French degree at uni.
my main questions/concerns are;
1 - some people say the jump from AS to A2 is worse than that from gcse to AS - is this true?
2- will i struggle with mechanics seeing as i don't do any sciences at A level? most maths students at my college do physics (i also do eng lit, history, French). i got an A* in triple science physics gcse tho lol
3 - if i am applying for history, will my application be weakened by having A2s in French, hist, and maths rather than in French, hist, and eng lit, since eng lit is more relevant to hist than maths?
4 - overall; if i try really hard and do loads of past papers and maybe get a maths tutor, will it be possible to maintain an A grade for overall A2?
Thanks anyone X
