Hi there, I want to inow if it's possible to do A level maths fully in one year? This is in conjunction with Further Maths, chemistry, physics, german and general studies!

Many people do A Level Maths in a single year as schools often teach Maths in Y12 and then Further Maths in Y13

You can obviously. It's a lot of work. I was considering that, but decided it wasn't necessary for my uni course, and didn't want to have to compromise time and effort for it (I want to do law). See how your school timetables it. You may have extra lessons to speed up the learning, because you will essentially need to learn double the amount, and you will compromise free periods. I'm assuming if you are good at maths (as you probably are for f maths), regular a level will be easy. Further maths is more work but not very hard from what I hear, but you need to be dedicated to losing free time and making sure your other subjects get the same amount of attention. Universities seem to not care about more than 3 A Levels, and instead of requesting A*AA, may ask for A*AAA or higher, which is difficult. If you can do it though, or if you need it, definitely do it
At my school for maths and FM, were supposed to do year 1, C1, C2, S1, S2, D1 and FP1. Year 2, C3, C4, M1, S3, FP2, FP3. Whereas, I wish to do the C3, C4 and M1 in year 1 as well.

In terms of doing it with the others, the lowest I got was 95% in my GCSEs plus I got highest in my school in OCR FSMQ. I just feel like I'd rather doing A Level maths in one year

Oh, I see - why
Schools make a decision about which way to deliver their FM
Some do Maths in Y12 and FM in Y13 - others do what you are doing
Why are you wanting to take a different path to the one school suggest

Some say there is a big gap between GCSEs and A Levels. Not so much for maths, but definitely for other subjects. Chemistry is notoriously difficult, as well as languages. These subjects get harder, and you need to devote time to them. That's why most people only do 4 AS, so they spend as much time as possible on the subjects. Is your general studies compulsory? If not, consider dropping it and replacing it with further maths. My school (very selective state school) is crazy about Oxbridge and gives the vibe that they aren't crazy about GS. I'd recommend checking if the course you want at uni needs or suggests further maths. If not, you could do it for fun (?). I think you can only do a level maths in yr 12, not AS, it depends. Check with the Further Maths network and see what they recommend.
