History A-level in ONE year ( as a private candidate) Watch
Is it doable?
I have a centre where I can sit any A-levels I choose to take independently. That is not the issue. The issue is, I really want to do History but I am not sure how it will work out considering the fact that this subject also has coursework. Who will mark my coursework?
Thanks
(I would appreciate honesty. If you think I might be being stupid taking on an A-level like History in one year: do tell)

It's completely plausible to take History A Level in one year. All you need is focus and determination!

its perfectly doable even in 2-3 months. If you live in the uk taking a board like aqa,ocr or any uk board, its even possible to study in a month. trust me.
But, the subject should interest you which means it should be your passion - that's what it takes to self study over 7 hours a day.

Possible. but you have an issue with the coursework and you need to find a centre that will mark it or find an exam board where there is no coursework.

My other worry is that I have no support from a school so.... where will I have the guidance from in terms of the coursework? Will it be entirely up to me or can I expect something from the exam board?

Do people think a local college might allow a student to sit an a-level with them in a year?

History a level is very different to GCSE and very content heavy however it is doable I did my coursework in 2 weeks as as long as you skim read the books for quotes and have an interesting topic that’s not an issue our teacher marked ours but then a small percentage get sent off. Hope this helps! You don’t need a level history for most university courses though so another subject may be easier.

I cannot really ask my mum to pay anything above a hundred pounds. I would much rather just only pay for the papers I am sitting. I might email local colleges asking if they might let me do an A-level for free (in a year). If not, I will just pick another coursework-free subject. I just wish there was some of doing History A-level independently. This is so disheartening.

The problem with subjects which require Coursework is that someone needs to verify that it is your own work. However, Cloudlearn offers interest free payment plans and their History tutor is great!

because there is a kid in pakistan who did 22 A levels in a year, including history,furthermath,math,physics and every other subject and he managed to get good grades. He got into cambridge.
If he can do it, anyone can do it. We all have the same brain capabilities.

He is on par with genius level.
Not sure the OP is quite there.

I did history A level and honestly, it was a lot of work. It felt like 3 A levels at times. I would be very very cautious if you are planning to do it in a year since there is a lot of work involved and you may feel overwhelmed.

Are you or have you used cloudlearn? These forums could do with feedback on people who have used online providers.
