Alright so here's my situation
(Sorry this is quite long)
I'm currently doing AS-Levels in Computing, History, English Literature and Government & Politics.
For someone who wants to do Computer Science, excluding Computing my A-Levels are very irrelevant. My mistake of course, as I decided to not do Maths or even something like Product Design or Psychology which may be completely different from Computing but still closer than Politics and the like. So the issue is subject choice rather than capability - as I'm coping fine in all my subjects.
No doubt about it I'm dropping Politics after half term and doing 3 AS-Levels. It's irrelevant, and doesn't interest me nor will it be in any way beneficial for me. It's too late to change to another subject, and I wouldn't want to do so anyway since it's so late into the year and I wouldn't be able to catch up.
So my options are:
Option 1 - Do AS Computing, History, English and then do A2 Computing, History, English and AS Maths (not leading to A2). Good option, however would only have an AS in Maths but would do the traditional 2 years. Subjects still hardly touch Comp Sci applicant level though still better than now.
Leads to A-Level Computing, History, English and AS Maths. Good set but not that strong, if Maths AS f***s up I'm screwed.
Option 2 - Do AS Computing, History, English and then do A2 Computing and English and AS Maths and another AS in something such as Product Design and then spend a third year at college doing A2 Maths, A2 Product Design and another AS in the third year like Psychology or whatever (college requires a minimum of 3 subjects). Issue is having to spend an extra year which could be a disadvantage for uni applications and also I'm unsure if I'd be able to do Maths to A2 level.
Leads to A-Level Computing, Maths, Product Design, English and AS History, AS Psychology. Much stronger - but not sure what I'd do again if Maths f***s up.
I haven't chosen Biology, Chemistry or Physics through out this as I need a BB to do Science A-Levels and I only have BC. My college also offer A-Level Graphic Communication (Photoshop etc) which I'm also considering.
What should I do? Is an AS in Maths good enough? Would I need a full A-Level? Any other suggestions over what route I should take?
