I think you've misunderstood what the 'linear' means, you can still drop them after a year and you still get an AS in it. However, it just means if you continue to take the subject you have to resit your AS aswell as A2 exams in the second year. It just means the grade in the first year does not count towards your final A-level grade, so yes you will still get a qualification.

I don't think they do that with my year? I definitely remember the principal saying that if the exams are linear then we have internal exams for them(mocks) , but we are tested on the full content in year 2. I asked the biology teacher as well if we did AS, he said no. So if we don't do the AS exams we cant get an AS in it xD
Yeah it says here in the prospectus "students taking the reformed linear qualifications from September 2016 will no longer sit AS levels at the end of the first year, all examinations for A level will be taken at the end of the two year course"

What science fanatic said is true From September 2016, there will no longer be any AS exams at all, only mocks. However, your year (if you are in year 12) are doing as this year even though it is not counted towards your final grade I think anyway. It's so confusing right?

Does that mean we can't drop any a levels in the first year you've got to continue the whole qualification for two years

I'm not sure about this but you probably could though it would be a waste of a year. If you want to drop one you're better just picking 3 and carrying them all through

If a subject is linear then you get assessed at the end of A2. If you drop it at AS then you do not gain an AS Level in that subject.
Agh! I'm not sure sure how I wasn't aware of this thread already!
I'm also a current student at Greenhead, and I'm absolutely loving it! And I'd be happy to answer any questions, if you still have any (PM me if you need to!). I'll try and be as honest and helpful as I can be.
It's a great place though, and choosing to study there is probably one of the best decisions I've made in my life so far.

Hello- I remember messaging you about your display picture - cowboy bepop right? I didn't think so many people on here would be interested in GC. I'm glad you like it, which subjects do you do and why is it one of the best decisions of your life?

If you do 3 then you aren't allowed to drop it. But like ariane said and like I said before, it would be a waste of a year to do 4 linear A-levels and drop one for no qualification.
