Open University and also studying a GCSE at the same time.. Is it Feasible?

Im just curious to know.

How feasible would it be to study both at the same time?

For example, let's say you are studying a degree in one subject, but also need a GCSE in maths.

Is it easily doable to fit maths gcse within the 3 years before i finish the degree?

Depends how much time and energy you can put into studying both at the same time.

I know this isn't quite the same but I studied GCSE and A-level at the same time and I had to juggle my time between the two to get good grades in both.

Keep in mind though that GCSEs aren't required for entry to the open uni. If you're doing a degree that requires maths then there's plenty of resources online to help you. If you have any questions just ask :smile:

Since you're doing the degree full time, you'd probably want to study the GCSE over the summer instead of trying to juggle it with uni courses.
I'd expect this to be completely doable unless you really struggle with maths or there are other special circumstances.
