What is A2 like compared to AS?

Is A2 that much harder than AS?
Also is A2 entirely new content or is it just building on what you learn at AS?
Thanks :smile: (I'm doing Biology, Chemistry and Physics)

Im finding A2 biology much harder than AS, whilst it does use some AS content, the A2 spec is whole new topics e.g. Photosynthesis and Respiration, Inheritance

But it does use things from AS such as ATP and genetics for example.

Don't worry about it too much though, work hard and you'll be good :smile:
I don't take any of the same subjects as you (I take Maths, F. Maths, English and Geography), but I think it's fair to say that the content is a little harder, its more of the fact that Year 13 has so much going on constantly that managing workload becomes so much more important compared to during Year 12.
