English Literature, A2 in the first year?

Ok, I got 254/300 on my AS English Lit (which I took in year 11 alongside my GCSEs). That mounts up to an A. Now, I was thinking of doing A2 in the first year of college, but I'm wondering how big the step up is? Is my mark something comfortable to base half my final grade on?

Help.

I wouldnt necessarily say the jump is that big, but it requires you to be a lot more sophisticated in your line of arguments and writing styles and looking at your hopeful AS levels (like History), this would help you quite a bit. But then again, getting an A whlst doing your GCSE is bloody amazin! It would be a real achievement but think about it carefully. Your gonna see that 5 AS is gonna be quite a handful, let alone a demanding A2!
Works out I need 75.3% in the A2 year overall to get an overall A. I suppose I've also got like 4 chances to get it aswell:

First year exams
First year resit
Second year (if i need to) exams
and the final desperate grasping of a second year resit...
The jump isnt that big. I took both AS and A2 Lit in the second year of college and I got an A despite not having done any English for a year.
