Have you asked them why they're trying to do this? Are they trying to get you through AS and A level in a single year?

I asked and they said theyre just doing AS in the 1st year but all of statistics for y1 & 2 & in the second year all of mechanics y1 & 2

Well you're not doing more or less work than you would otherwise be doing then presumably, you're just not potentially jumping between topics across the year. Which is honestly probably a sensible approach.

That's a crazy way of teaching it .... we schedule two teachers. One teaches Pure and the other teaches the stats and mechanics.and some [ure to balanve out. How will you remember all the Year 12 content if you aren't using it?

No, it's not a good way of teaching A level.
In terms of homework, we got homework almost every lesson and it helped so much. You're at A-Level. You need to be working hard now.

Everyone gets regular homework at A-level, but finishing AS pure by November is ridiculous, especially for those who didn't get an 8/9 at GCSE.

theyre setting an insane amount of homework. I am feeling burnt out from just the maths homework alone, and thats just 1 subject. I havent done any biology revision in a whole week and very minimal chemistry revision because maths has been taking up all of my time.
