    How hard are A-levels for internationl students?
    Hi. I am an international student comming to study A-levels myself so it's why i am interested in that question. So maybe some of you was one of them and can describe your experience in UK college/sixth form as an oversea student as well as maybe you have friend/classmate who came to study A-levels from another country? Either way i would be glad to hear about any interesting experience as well as advice.

    A little information about me:
    - I am comming from Estonia.
    - I am going to study Math, History, Economics and English Literature.
    - I will be studying at the College of Richard Collyer.

    Thanks in advance!

    heyy, i'm from estonia as well i have studied in uk for 2 years now, going to start my a2 this fall. I don't think alevels are too hard, in fact i feel they are easier when youre an international student but that might just be me. also depends what grade you completed in estonia? i left after grade 8.
    if you have any questions feel free to message me (can write in estonian haha)

    good luck!
