You can, but I don't see why you would want to when you'll have enough work with 4 A levels :redface:

Which A levels and which BTEC?

Yes that's quite a good idea since most universities don't even care what you get when you drop an AS subject.
It could also act as backup, if exams don't go as planned.

Fair enough :smile:

I'd be wary that most of your choices have quite a heavy workload. But if you're prepared to try then by all means, go ahead :smile:

It'll be a lot of work to keep up with. If you want to do that many though why don't you just do an A Level in Art and Design? You can take up to 5 AS levels.

Ah do you? I do A Level Photography and I didn't do GCSE Art but got in by showing them some images.
I'd recommend doing it at level 2 then as level 1 is probably really basic stuff.
