4 advanced highers next year

So I’m taking AH maths, chemistry, biology and physics next year. How bad is my year going to be? Like how difficult am I going to find it?

If it helps, I should be getting A’s in all the subjects that I’m taking next year, this year
Wow, I don’t want to just blatantly say “DONT DO IT” because it sounds like you’re capable of a lot but 4 advanced highers (particularly all 3 sciences and maths - aka probably the 4 hardest AHs) seems like way too much not to mention unnecessary as literally no course or uni you apply to will ask for any more than a maximum of 3 AHs. I’m taking 2 advanced highers (English and biology) and a crash higher in RMPS this year and that’ll be plenty for me but go for it if you want to.

I did the exact same four advanced highers this year, it's definitely doable (assuming you're decent at science)! you'll have to work hard and actually do homework/revision during study periods :tongue: the hardest bit is getting through all the assignments, but after your first assignment you'll be so used to writing them it'll be easy :smile:

you carry out an investigation in basically any topic you like (or your teacher will give recommendations), then you write up a report on it...they're worth 23% in chem and physics and 25% in biology
