4 A-levels in one year?

I've re-sat my 12th year twice (for personal reasons I don't want to post online).

What's the possibility of doing them (maths, biology, chemistry and psychology) AS+A2 in one year- AND getting A*AA*A* respectively?

I would say that would be a very difficult task to undertake and that you should only take that option if you really have to.
Could you potentially do a foundation year for university as a back up?

Why not just do 3 if you're doing them in one year? 4 would be pointless in that situation.

It's my only chance.

And no I can't as I'm taking science subjects.

I'm interested in all four subjects.
what do you want to do in uni
I think you can actually do it. And people just exaggerate, the work load is not too much. And AS exams and A2 exams are like a month or 3 weeks away from each other. You have to be dedicated, and you'll make it
Many people struggle to get those grades over two years.

Absolutely crazy. Unless you're prodigious - and you would know if you are - then studying 4 full A Levels from scratch in one year is a terrible idea.
