Work load for these A Level options?

Hi, so far I've decided to take Maths, English Lit, Politics and Geography for A Level. But to keep my options open and as they go well together I'm considering taking Physics as well. I'm pretty good at Physics; I'm achieving A's at the moment and I'm not really trying too hard. My main question is what will the work load be like if I take all five subjects? My concern is that if I take five subjects then I won't have any free periods and I would probably use these to catch up on work and do homework because I don't have as much motivation at home.
Any Advice?

English Lit was incredibly easy for me. Didn't do any work outside of class and it turned out fine.

I'm in the exact same position as you! I definitely want to do English Lit, Philosophy, Physics and Psychology but I'm considering taking a fifth A-Level in ICT or English Language. But then again, I don't want to use up my free periods either, as it's good to homework/revision in them.

I'm not too sure about the workload, though, as I'm also [I assume you're in Y11?] in year 11. But what I'm going to do is just go for the fifth A-Level, see how it goes for the first couple of weeks and then see if the workload is too much. If it is, then I'll just drop the fifth A-Level.

Anyway good luck :biggrin:
