Hello! I have heard from several sources that the workload of AS and A levels is extremely high, at least compared to IGCSEs. Does anyone (preferably someone who has done A levels or is in the middle of them) have any advice for how to stay on top of things?

Just finished yr 12 - it was definitely higher than GCSEs but is manageable. The difficulty is that you need to be organised and on the ball all the time and for every single lesson.

Hey
I'm currently in my Advanced subsidiary(As) level and I'm finding it pretty difficult. It's at least 10 times harder than IGCSE if not more. I got A* in all the 6 subjects I had in IGCSE but now that I'm in my AS I can't even manage to get a C or D grade in the class tests. Many of my friends are even ending up with E or U
Solving the past papers are not helping me either . No matter how much you study it's never enough
I'll just advice you to study everyday . Do not waste a moment and start doing the past papers and leave the rest up to your fate

I’ve just finished my first year of maths and chemistry. With maths, as long as you keep up with assignments, what you are learning in class, you should be completely fine. I would suggest doing review exercises for topics whilst you are doing the topics or right after because then you have it out of the way and a lot of times in a level maths, topics build on ideas from other topics. I found chemistry harder than maths but that’s only cos I found maths relatively straightforward. With chemistry, the workload could seem a bit intense at first but that’s only because ur being introduced to all these new ideas at first . After a while, you get used to it.

Well I can imagine that those are pretty tough. But don't they all go hand in hand?

Thanks for sharing. What subjects did you do? Obviously some subjects are more demanding than others, and so I'm thinking of taking Biology, Chemisty and Maths and I'm unsure what the workload would be like. Does anyone have any experience or idea? Thanks
