how useful is an extra AS qualification??
hellooo, im going to do A level maths,further maths and physics. im hoping to do one of these at uni
-civil engineeering
-aerospace engineering
-astronomy & cosmology
-robotics
-nuclear physics
-aeronautical engineering
my school is offering me the opportunity to do AS religious studies, which will be an extra AS level qualification. im having to do my A levels in 3 years due to retaking my AS year. im now in my first AS year and things have gone very wrong for me since sepetember. most likely, i will have to redo AS next year again. so when apply to uni (imperial college or UCL or southampton), i thought i could tell them i got my AS religious studies even though i flopped my first AS year. then that way, atleast i didnt totally waste my first AS year. so is this extra qualification usefull?? or does it make no difference??

In my opinion, I would suggest you do not take the extra AS qualification and concentrate on getting good results in your A2 exams. My reasoning: 1) You said you want to make it seem you didn't completely fail your first AS year, but nonetheless, the universities will be able to see the dates you took your AS levels and see religious studies was taken a year later. 2) Considering the degrees you want to apply to, if you wanted to do an AS perhaps it is worthwhile doing one in something related to your prospective degree?

at the moment, im doing maths,physics, french. i dont really know if i should go to the lessons for religious studies. i only chose it in september instead of further maths because i was told the school will not be able to do further maths.obviously now, i regret choosing religious studies.
