Maths A Level - How hard is it?

Hi
I'm almost finished sitting my GCSES and I'm in year 11 and I need to decide what A Levels to take
I really want to take physics and have always got 9s in it but I was unsure about taking maths because I usually get 8s rather than 9s
But I think the maths real GCSE went really well so hopefully I will get a 9
But basically I've heard a lot of people saying I won't be able to cope with Physics without doing Maths but I'm scared it will be too hard for me because I didn't do add maths GCSE
Can someone pls tell me if its possible to get an A* in maths a level if you didn't do add maths GCSE and you're not in top set (I'm in set 2) also how hard is it to grasp the concepts
Thanks!!

Hey!
Well done on your maths GCSE (and all of the others)!
Maths A Level can be pretty tricky, but if you are getting 9s in physics and 8s in maths all the time, you are definitely going to be capable enough! It is super useful to have done ad maths GCSE, so maybe you want to have a look at that content over summer (as a maths teacher from your school for a textbook or something), but either way you will be fine without it.
It might just require a little more work but seriously if you like maths now you'll be okay, and you're right about maths and physics going really well together, so they'll make each other easier!
Good luck with GCSE results!

I got a 7 in maths and was also in set 2, at the start of alevel maths I wasnt putting in the work like doing the minimum and was basically failing but when AS came I did all the past papers and scraped a B. Im not even good at maths but at the start of yr 13 I just did all the textbook questions after we finished a topic and got A* in my second mocks
My point is alevel maths is the easiest to manage if u put in the work and its not as hard as everyone makes it (coming from a very average student)
If ur getting 8s n 9s in gcse maths ur already better then me and will do much better then me just go for it

yeah I'm thinking hopefully it would be manageable because I want to do 4 a levels (probably latin, Spanish, maths, physics) or something like that but I'm scared ill get burnt out with all the work but yh

what grade you think you on so far? (after p1 and 2)

Looking at the unofficial mark scheme I did pretty good wbu?
