Choosing 5 AS levels?

I wouldn't take 5 if you're doing two foreign languages unless you don't want a job or social life :colondollar:

So if I don't want a job you think it's doable?

You'll probably have to give up the student room too you'll be that packed with revision :lol: (I'm only joking haha) how are you finding the languages at GCSE?

It really depends on the person. You can't easily predict how well someone is going to do at A-level from their GCSEs. If you feel up for it I would advise giving it a go and then dropping one if you feel like it's too much.

At GCSE I love them! I do Spanish, German & French and already have Latin Language GCSE A*! The only thing is that I hate literature... and speaking to my Spanish teacher, the A level at my school is based on a book :/ If you did a book (or play) in your language at A level, how did it compare to GCSE English Literature... is it better just because it is in Spanish, or am I going to hate it!

Yeah I think that's a good idea. I may as well at least try, it it's too hard, it's easier to give one up that start a new one if I find 4 not challenging enough
You are aware that A levels are changing massively in September?

We won't be encouraging anyone, no matter how many A*s at GCSE, to do more than 4 subjects in Y12.

Maths/F Maths isn't changing just yet but most are becoming linear ie all the exams at the end of Year 13.

I haven't done any languages at a level. My friend dropped French after AS because he says it was really difficult though. :smile: good luck
