well, theres loads of factors. I still want to keep my options open and.ive done my research. AS is more uncommon now but I want more workload coz I have bo life lol and it could help in the future?

First of all have you checked if your school offers AS, I know my college only offer an AS in further maths but that is because they think its useful if you want to do maths at uni, but don't want to do 4 alevels.

As someone who does 4 alevels the work load is heavy and for me the only reason I do it is because it will be useful for me to have further maths when applying to uni. If you are doing 4 you need to have something to motivate you. If you are happy with that, great! it keeps your options open and hopefully by the end of year 12 you will have a better idea of what you want to do at uni....

This is an interesting idea. Perhaps place a time limit on it too? (ie in the 21st century.)

How many pages of work did you write? That sounds interesting.

I think mine was around 30 ish.

My undergrad dissertation was about 50, and that was over 10k words, for context. Page length really depends on the kind of thing you're writing though. If you've got graphs then you'll have a considerably longer essay in page terms.

I mean, a lot depends on the line spacing. But generally take each page to be 300-400 words.

If you are doing an artifact, I am assuming most of your research goes into your logbook and then you summarise it all in the 1000 word essay - is that correct?

Hi sorry this is like 5 years too late but I'm doing mine on the shadow economy and just submitted my draft and my teacher told me that it needed to be more analytical? Does this mean I have to talk about my own opinion and how I feel about it? I feel like mine is more of an academic journal kind of essay where I literally explain the shadow economy and I'm just not sure on how to make it more analytical
