9 or 12 module maths

That is correct they are not letting me take the 3 modules. If they are of the same board though why would they clash? I thought an exam has to be taken at the same time across the country?

They have exams at the same time never mind on the same day

For example, Edexcel C4 and S4 same time same day, or D1 and M2 same time same day
and many others

Well, as I have said - sitting at another centre could prove difficult

Even if you are lucky enough to not have maths clashes there could be exams in your other subjects


I cannot see what the problem is for your school - offer to do a mock in the units you want to self study - if you do well enough in the mock I cannot see why they would say no

Depending on where you're applying to, having completed the A-Level in the year may not actually be beneficial to take the full A-level a year early.

I want to apply for engineering or possibly economics depending how the subject goes this year. Doing an a level in maths and an a level in further maths is beneficial for such courses.

True, but I said where not what

TBH

You should have checked the fine print prior to applying to this sixth form

Oh sorry I must've sounded very patronising

I am aiming for oxbridge.

The departments for my other subjects in the school are a big upgrade compared to my previous so I needed to change. I just want to know any solutions to the current predicament I am in.

Haha, not really.


Hmm from memory Oxford only run an Engineering Science course, as for Cambridge, it may be worth waiting, because even if you take C4 and get a good A-level grade, Cambridge may well not include it in your offer.

Do you possibly know what modules they prefer to do?

One thing I would advise is try to decide where your passion really lies and concentrate on that subject and what you need to succeed in it. Don't decide on a university and then try to flip about between subjects in some sort of tactical effort to get in - top universities are very good at sensing when applicants don't have a genuine enthusiasm for the subject they're applying for.



Broadly speaking you want as much FP as possible, followed by as much Mechanics then Stats (flip the last two around if you are serious about Economics).

If your school makes it difficult or not feasible to take the full A2 FM then you can make the university aware of this in your application. Taking AS FM is better than nothing, and it always looks good if you self-study some modules even if you can't take the exams in those modules.

I have always loved physics but having started economics and I find it very interesting so I am slightly torn between the two. Any recommendation on what I should do? If I do self study but not do the exam how will it look good if I have nothing to show for it?
