    Physics AS?
    I am currently doing AS Maths, Product Design and IT and think it may be worth me doing AS Physics next year but am not sure. I didn't take GCSE seriously enough and only got a C in addition Science. I am expected to get a C/B in Maths for AS.

    Is it worth me taking it next year as an AS or do you think I will find it too hard? I'm really not sure what to do.. =/

    any advice would be good, thanks

    Something in the motorsport trade, such as motorsport technology or motorsport engineering. But I know alot of these sort of courses prefer for you to have physics.

    Then it would be advisable to take it up. But only if you think you can do relatively well in it without sacraficing your other subjects.
