How hard is A2 Physics compared to AS Physics?

Just wondering whether I should drop it in A2. I'm currently predicted a B for Physics and do Maths and Further Maths.

Depends on what specification you're doing but at least for OCR B, I think the step up is less than in Chemistry and Maths.
If you are doing only Maths, Further Maths and Physics - its better and wise not to drop Physics. You need 3 A Levels as a minimum and two doesn't look good.

The step up from AS to A2 for Edexcel Physics was much much less than in Chemistry and Biology.
