I’m currently in Year 11 and I will be starting at a grammar school sixth form in September. The school requires all students to do either three A-levels and an EPQ or four A-levels, and I am planning on studying Latin A-level privately with a tutor. The four A-levels I would study in school would be English lit, Religious Studies, Philosophy and Ethics, Maths and Further maths, but I’m worried about the workload of five A-levels. If I were to do an EPQ instead, I would probably drop Further maths. My mum is a maths teacher and doesn’t think that there will be a huge difference in the amount of work required to do Further maths or an EPQ. I will also probably sit AS-level Latin at the end of Year 12, but the school doesn’t do AS-levels so that will be my only one. The EPQ would also be due at the end of Year 12. I know both options would be a lot of work, and my priority is my main four A-levels (Latin, English, Philosophy and Maths). Which combination would be the best to achieve top grades?
