Realistically, I don't think it will be a good idea. Taking a fourth A-Level in your second year means that not only will you need to catch up on content for it but also start preparing to sit your exams for all four subjects at the end of the year. It's a lot on your shoulders that might leave you feeling extremely overwhelmed.

You could always take an IT course online sometime in the future if it's something that interests you?
