AS & A2 in one year...

Biology just seems to be reading out of the book, memorising stuff. Chemistry/Physics are much more broad in the way they test you.

I honestly have nothing better to do than study for a year. My boyfriend will be in his final year of uni & I don't have much of a social life anyway so I actually wouldn't mind having something productive to fill my time with.

Lol..

Your a silly fail of a person, you really are

Well you sounds pretty dedicated to it. As long as you don't slack off part way through the year, I'd imagine you could maybe manage. But yeah, talk to tutors about it first, they probably know better than TSR - especially seeing as they know your abilities.

The tutors don't really know my abilities either if I'm honest. I know I have the ability to do well if I really tried, I have enough people that have faith in me. I just needed some people's opinions and wanted to find out if it was manageable.

Someones clearly not done science subjects.

Physics, maths, business + law.

So.. two of both i'd say, so i think my opinion is perfectly fair.

I'd like proof you learn more in maths than you do in Law.. because it wasn't that way when i did it. and i'm only guessing here.. really.. it's only a guess, but i don't think the whole course content has changed this year.

Any more trolling you going to do? Because it's boring.

Law is disregarded as an A-level apparently. Let me guess you did it all on Edexel.

According to who?

And don't remember :P But good job of you resorting to that.. very intelligent of you.. oh wait.. no it's not.

Various readings on TSR.

Its true, Edexcel are not very hard for science/maths.

Would I be able to manage it? (If the college let me of course).
I want to do English Lit/Lang, History, Philosophy & Religious Studies.... would it be possible to sit both the AS and A2 in one year? I certainly have the ability to do it, no distractions etc. I'm just wondering whether or not it's a good idea? HELP.

I wouldn't know... all my science/maths exams were WJEC.

Yep.
Questions with one possible answer are so much more easier than 40 marks question based upon two years of material to which the mark is also subjective in accordance to the person marking it, let alone having to use correct prose, grammar and spelling the whole way through whilst continuing to use the correct method (whether your analyzing, evaluation, comparing etc etc) to put forward all this information in a mark a minute.

Guess writing maths answers is harder than this.

Silly person.

'Readings' being? ..
Meh, i got my Offers from Birmingham and Warwick .. i'm happy with what my A-levels got me. Too bad i was just lazy ;D .

And yes i know in the general part is true.. i'm saying it's 'low' of you to assume that i did it on that particular exam board.

The amount of content you've got to learn for Chem/maths/physics is crazy compared to social sciences where you can just wing it.

I understand where you're coming from but the quotes poster has a point.

The point being that you can do well in essay subjects by being articulate and forming together good opinions, but obviously needing to know the content. But because the actual writing makes up such a big portion, doing well in many different exams is quite doable.

With sciences and maths you really need to know exactly what you're doing - know how to work various things out, facts and figures, laws, mechanisms and explanations of how things work etc etc.

I believe doing 24 modules of science/maths in one year would be waaaay too difficult because of the massive range of things you must learn.

Anyway that's just my point of view, this isn't to say I think Arts/Humanities aren't respectable A-levels, just probably easier to do lots of different topics with them than someone doing that for sciences (provided the person doing the arts is just as good at them as the person doing the sciences is good at sciences).
