You need to be as organised as possible with your time, to ensure you can cover everything you need and things aren't left to the last moment. If you haven't taken A levels before, you need to find a way of studying that suits you, but looking at previous exam papers and practising answers already (even if your knowledge is limited) is a good start. You might also need to seek advice on essay structure. Try to read around the subject as much as you can so you really get involved in it - you could check out marketing blogs, read the Economist (libraries might store copies), listen to the Martin Lewis money podcast, read the business pages of newspapers like the Guardian or the Times, watch The Diary of a CEO (iPlayer) .... ask tutors for other suggestions (obviously don't spend all your time 'reading around the subject' that you neglect the actual course!). If the subject is new to you, sometimes guides aimed at GCSE students can give very useful overviews - also see BBC bitesize GCSE business. Doing A levels in a year is absolutely feasible, but the ability to concentrate and retain high levels of enthusiasm (with, hopefully, not to many outside distractions) helps!

Depends on what you plan to commit to your education, your current knowledge base & your aptitude.

An average student does 3/4 A-levels over 2 school years. I.e. 1.5-2 A-levels per year, so by nominal average standards it’s not excessive. It’s also fairly common to do A-level mathematics in one year (if you are doing maths +FM), so it’s not unusual to go double speed.
