Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Is it possible to do AS and A2 in 1 year?

I have decided to do Economics, Mathematics and further mathematics for my AS and A2 in one year?
I'm aiming for LSE for adegree in Economics or Finance. The required results are A*,A,A (including A* in Mathematics)
Do you think my plan will work?
I'm also not sure whether taking 3 subjects for AS and A2 will make me less attractive,because most people at my school are doing 4 AS A2 subjects.

Please answer my question,because it is a serious issue!

Depends. How much prior experience of economics do you have?

Yes it is possible. I did one year course, in chem biology and economics and got aaa, now im starting med school in september.
I would advise you to ask yourself if you are willing to put in a lot of work between september and january exams, because thats the killer time period. You've got to study the basic as stuff whilst studying a2 unit's without the as background (from unit's 1-3)
Secondly, make sure your college is seriously on the ball. mine was amazing, the teachers were brilliant and always helped. (It is a very small college though, i was the only one in my chem classes, and only one other girl in bio classes)
The main thing is to stay on top of the workload. But it is do-able. my classes were 9am-5.30pm everyday.
If i can do it im sure you can
