Doing an AS during A2?

I was wondering how hard it is to do an AS while in your A2 year. Has anyone done it because i was thinking of doing an AS in physics while i do Maths, biology and chemistry at A2.

Depends on what you want to do, otherwise in most cases it's kind of pointless since it's very unlikely count torwards university / apprenticeship requirements

Ah fair enough. Go for it then. It will be slightly trickle since A2 demands a lot more practice but I'm sure you'll be fine

I'm guessing your going for something like medicine or engineering?

Id go for it.
Quite a few people at my old 6th form did it and they all found it ok.

I'd imagine you'd have to sort out various course-work related things at your sixth form/college. If that's all sorted, then you should be fine.
