How long would it take me to do these A levels

Hey guys,

I am doing maths, further maths, physics and economics. I have posted something related to this earlier. People told me 6 subjects were impossible. So I dropped 2. Now can I study this content in 2 months, revise for 4 or 5 months and get an A star? Is there someone who has done that? Thanks a lot, guys.

there's a reason why the a-level course is spread over 2 years, not 6 months...

I know but is it possible. Cause I did my GCSE'S in 3 months. I did 12 GCSEs. So is it possible?

Most undergrad uni courses start in September, so unless you've already started your superfast mission, there's no point in rushing because even if you finish it all by Christmas, it's highly unlikely you can find a course to start in January unless it's not in the UK.

Is it possible to do 4 A-levels in 6 months? I don't know, depends on the person you are. Going non-stop it may be possible, but it'll also be super stressful because it is A LOT of content you have to cover.

Very random but thanks! Well if you start in September and sit exams in June it should be possible. But if you want to play it safe you can start a little bit now by looking at the curriculum and preparing all of your materials and textbooks now. I am not sure if you meant completing AS and A level in one year, but again I still think it's possible if you work super hard. It just might feel overwhelming at times.

I'm going to give you some advice as an older person. It is hard to live alone, and being so young makes it even harder. You're too young for a job, you may even be too young for university. You cannot do things without your parents permission until you are 18 when you become a legal adult.

I don't know the reason behind you wanting to rush through life and finish your A-levels now, but slow down a bit, and if you need some help or support then talk to your teachers or someone you trust. Make friends in school or go places to meet new people. Just chill out a bit, rushing isn't going to help.

I don't trust anyone. That's why I am asking you if you would be my friend?

2 months is a bit too long to be honest.

Maths modules shouldn't take you more than half a day each, and further maths may take a day max.

Physics is a bit longer, so it may take about a week if you work hard.

Haven't done economics, but it should probably be the same as physics.

Overall, it should take less than a month to do them all properly, and then you can practice.

Have you done these exams before?
