A lot of people who choose to study politics didn't study politics at school, so if you struggle it won't be because of that. Usually, universities start rather basic, because people come from all over the world and have had all kinds of education, so everyone's level is a little different
So I wouldn't worry about that

I do A level politics, it’s really fun! I’d recommend reading some political books and looking at the a House of Commons site where there’s lots of reading about the U.K. political system.

Hi @amelcorbo
As @heyitsmika said, many people who do a politics degree did not study it at A-Level, so it wouldn't be much of a problem. I would try and do some reading about the first topics of your course and stay up to date on the news.
