I know that this forum is for people choosing A-Levels, however I felt obliged to comment as someone who is currently studying at AS Level. I can't help but notice that many of you want to take up 5, 6, even 7 AS's. As a student who attained 13A*s last year and placed Top in Northern Ireland at Double Award Science, even I struggle to cope with the demands of 4 AS's in Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Maths. You are very naive to believe you could juggle so many subjects. I think the problem is, is that you underestimate the level of work required in an AS. Honestly, GCSE's are the easiest things you could ever do, A-Level, is a completely different ball game! The depth that you study into is unbelievable, I couldn't even compare GCSE Biology to AS.

I just wanted to warn you, that unless you want to do nothing else but study, there is no real advantage to doing so many A-Levels. Universities prefer all 3/4 strong subjects compared to 5/6/7 average results. Stick to what you're good at and play to your strengths!

Im in AS aswell and this is soooo true. Listen to her year 11's otherwise you will be swamped by 5 AS levels when really you only need 3/4

It's a bit like marmite- youeither love the subeject or hate. I did the Great Gatsby, the Kite Runner (which is amazing- whether you do it or not I strongly recommend it), the Rime of the Ancient Mariner and poems by Auden.

You should read it it's by the same guy who wrote the Kite Runner,and it's just as good in my opinion. After my exams I'm just gonna sleep for eight weeks. I don't remember what my bed looks like! Everybody's saying 6th form's really hard. It's scaring me
