A level student as a full time worker
Hello guys, I am currently doing GCSE Maths and English language and planning to do A level from this September for 2 years, then enrol the exam as a private candidate like I'm doing right now.
I'm planning to do A level Mathematics, English Language and accounting, I'm expecting a 7/8 for GCSE Maths and a 4 for GCSE English.
Here are some questions I want to ask, feel free to say or share anything based on your opinion or experience, happy to get direct messages if you want to say something privately.
1) How big jump between Maths GCSE and A level?
My maths is not good but apparently GCSE maths is not as hard as I think, so I can still manage to expect a high grade with practising and practicing.
2) Since English is not my first language, so I read really slowly when I'm trying to do the exam, GCSE is already killing me that's why I'm only expecting a 4 for Eng Lan...
If I pass the GCSE, do you guys still recommend me to do A level English? Or I should do IELTS as the prove of the English requirement for unis? Which one do you think it's easier?
3) Since I'm also a full time worker, 30-32 hours per week, how many hours should I study per week? Does it seem like I have to study for 2 years if I work full time?
Thank you guys in advance, looking forward to seeing your replies

English Language focuses on linguistics and the way society affects language. Incredibly interesting subject, but I'm guessing from your post that you're more interested in showing English proficiency? If so, I recommend doing IELTS instead. Perhaps resit GCSE English Language and aim for a 5 or above.
