Should I still take A level maths

At gcse between year 10 of gcse I found myself slacking abit in maths and as a result I was was at a grade 2 (E).

I then decided to put in some work at the start of year 11 and I am now a grade 5 (high C)

Few more weeks to my exams I'm working as hard as I can needing to get at least a 7 (A) in maths.

If I do achieve that I was thinking is A level maths would be too hard for me. I've always been good at maths and always loved it. For university I want to study architecture and I need to do a level maths and get an A at a level. Was wondering if I could achieve that or if it'll be too hard for me.

A level maths is really hard, tbf gcse maths is as well but at a-level I heard that if u get 1 mark on every question you get a B. Also there’s quite a lot of trial and error at A-level. At the moment I’m getting a grade 5 (8 marks off a 6) and my target level is a 9 😂
Personally I would choose the A-levels I enjoy regardless the difficulty.

I think if you are willing to put the effort and practise in then it shouldn't be a problem.
If you enjoy Maths and you're willing to put the work in, you'll be fine
