everyone - next year?

i need some advice. at the moment i'm listed to take 6 as levels next year:

english lit
economics
maths
further maths
history
physics

do u think this is too much? most people take 4/5 and say AS levels are sooo much harder than gcses so i really don't know what to do.

I would say it could be too much, but I don't know. Maybe you could try it out and see how the workload suited you. Why did you choose 6 in the first place, I am just interested, whether the school encouraged you. At my school, you have to discuss whether you can take 4! Good luck, anyway :smile:

Unless you really want to, i'd recommend you take 4, or 5 at the most and concentrate getting all A's. Taking 6 will be a huge workload! Good Luck anyway.
id say do 5 but carry them all on for alevel

what course do you want to do at uni?
You dont need 6 A levels even for medicine. You only need 3A levels plus 1AS.no point to do 6 even if you want to get oxbridge. They will judge you upon your interview performance and your entrance score. I am doing also economics, history and maths plus chemistry.lol.
yeah i agree. even most oxbridge under graduate dont do more than 5 AS so unless u want not to have a life for the next 2 years i wouldnt do 6
im only doing 3/4 a levels and they are in my signature what i wanna do :smile: xoxo

I really wouldn't do 6. The workload would just be stupid.

I do 4 ASs and I think that's plenty! The workload increases a lot between GCSE and AS, and as others have pointed out, you only need 3 A-levels and 1 AS even for the best universities. It's better to take fewer subjects, spend more time on them and get As rather than take loads but do worse than you're capable of because you were pushed for time. At the end of the day, it's grades that matter, not number of subjects. 6 ASs including General Studies or Critical Thinking would probably be all right, but I really wouldn't recommend doing 6 proper ASs. Do 4, or 5 at the most.
i went to the O-zo or somethink it was exellent!!
