Taking one A level in a year

After results day on the 17th (just finished year 13) I am considering taking one more a level, and completing it in one year. I’d probably get a tutor in order to do this. Has anyone got experience with doing this? How much do you have to study per week etc? Thanks :smile:

Having done neither subject, I wouldn’t know precisely how long you should spend on each.

On days in which you have relatively few arrangements already in place, having your study time divided into two or three bursts of maybe an hour to complete an essay or something with breaks of no less than 15 minutes between is advisable.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t know
