Self-teaching an A level alongside your degree.

Hello, due to certain circumstances I shall be teaching myself A level economics alongside my degree (well the first year at least) I will be starting at uni in september and will have taught myself the whole AS edexcel specification by then, (I've already had a look at the content, the exam technique and I have a friend at cambridge doing an economics degree who will help me with anything I get stuck on ) I will be sitting both AS modules in January and both A2 modules in June just so you know.

I was just wondering has anyone had any experience of self-teaching an A level while doing their degree and how did you find it?

needless to say I am prepared to put in all the work and not let it affect my performance in my chosen degree subject, hence teaching myself the AS over the summer


thank you in advance for any help

Go for it!

It's easy enough to do if you're spending an hour or more a day. I'd recommend getting the big-daddy of Economics textbooks by Mankiw and Taylor, it's the most friendly, engaging and easy-to-understand Economics textbook there is for GCSE/A-level + some Degree level.

If you're doing it over summer, dude, you can finish the whole A-level in 1 month with 3-6 hours of studying a day -- 2 months if you're taking it easy.
