Will I be able to do A Level Politics at home?

Last May I sat my GCSEs in hospital and didn't get the grades I was expecting, so I didn't go to the sixth form that I had planned to. In September, I started a Health and Social course in college but was dropped from the course in October due to bad attendance. I've decided that the school/ college environment isn't for me but I still would really like to get some A Levels so I can go on to uni. I just want to do one this year and decided on politics but was just wondering if anyone had any tips for teaching yourself/ any general advice about doing a levels at home
Thanks

You could always be applying to sixth form in 2019.
What was the reason for your poor attendance?
College/school is easier and its free.


I have looked at A level politics fro AQA and that would be suitable for home study as it looks to be 100% exams.

Are you expecting to do this for Summer 2019?

AS or a whole A level?

Pick exam board
1. Download specification.
2. Decide if you want to pay for an online course or get text books and work out the price [ £300-500 or £50-100 for books]
3. Decide if you need essay feedback.
4. Arrange for exam fees and venue. Could be £300-450 to sit.


Self study imo is more difficult and you have to be well organised and motivated.
All depends what you are like as a self studier.

I had poor attendance in college due to my mental health. My vague plan was to do A level politics this year as a whole A Level and then to go back to sixth form/ college next September to do other A Levels. I don't want to waste a year of my life so figured might as well do something this year.

Plan was to do Edexcel politics. I would deffo need essay feedback but most of the websites I've been on for the A level provide that. The thing I think I'd be most stuck on would probs be findinf a venue.

I know self studying can be hard but it's also very difficult to find a college that can work the timetable around my recovery and how I feel on the day, and most tutors I've had haven't been the most understanding.
