Is Maths A level in 6 months possible??
I'm doing Media Studies, Economics, and Law second year A level. I'm self teaching Economics although I have a tutor. My law is applied law so the exam is in January not May
I want to take Maths A level, is it possible to survive that with an EPQ as well. I'm aiming for an A in maths if I do take it up, an A in Law, A in EPQ, an A/A* in Econ and a B in Media.
I can consider leaving Media and focusing on the Maths instead where I can sit in year 2 lessons and catch up on year 1.
Is this a bad idea?
Reason for wanting to take Maths is I only just realised that I want to study Economics at uni and most unis need Maths for that degree
Thanks

I am doing AQA maths and while I think it may be possible, to do it you would need to be incredibly good at maths, get concepts very quickly and be very dedicated.
A level maths is not like it was at GCSE, everything is taken up another level (as with a lot of other A-levels) there is also a lot of content spread across the years, just getting ready for the AS last year my class was learning content up until the last month before the exam.
Alongside this, the style in which questions are asked becomes a lot more vague in the exam. In order to do well in the exam you need to have a very good grasp on the theory, how it all links together and when to use it in a question.
The A level is quite hard, and I believe it would be quite a challenge for you to do it in 6 months.

Okay thank you, I knew it was silly considering it I just really hoped it could be possible

I mean, I'm sure it could be done, it just would be a whole ton of work on top of the already massive pile of work that is Y13. I would recommend talk to your subject teachers about it as well, event your school's maths teacher and see what they think, if you're a good enough student then you may be fine to go for it.

I tutor maths, if you’re committed I can help, but it will be A LOT of work, if you’re not 100% committed then don’t bother

I have talked to the head of maths and was told that unless I drop a subject I may be able to manage it but I've decided not to as to not jeopardise my other subjects, thank you for your help

It’s not possible tm.
Even me in 2 years of learning and doing quite decent getting Bs n Cs
I only managed to get a D
Unless you find maths easy and get concepts very very quickly you will struggle. Especially with y2 content .

Tutor online or in person (depending on location), been tutoring since year 8, done paid maths tuition for almost 3 years now but did unpaid for over 10. Tutor chemistry and bio as well. Any specific questions lmk bcs this is a very open question 😂
Considering you want to do Maths within 6 months and you are taking other A-levels: Economics, Media studies and Law, then I guess if you really put your mind to it and grid out the topics, you could have it completed. As maths A-level is a giant chunk, then unfortunately you would have to make some limitation e.g. gaming, social media e.t.c.
However, you could after completing your initial A-Levels think about taking a gap year and focus on your A-level Maths then and after achieving your grade you can apply for the university you love.
After all, its pretty much the same thing but the only difference is that you will be starting your Economics course at university 1 year later.
Hope that helps,
Good luck ! 🙂

A friend of mine studied all of A level pure maths during the summer and it didn't even take him the whole holiday so that shows that it's somewhat possible but, he didn't have other A levels to worry about at the time (we're in year 12) and he really enjoys maths so he was committed.
If you do decide to pick up maths you should really drop a different A level. Catching up on a year's worth of work on a fourth A level is difficult. It would probably mess up all of your other grades.
Don't just listen to me though, I'm only in year 12 and I study further maths so everyone around me is oddly obsessed with it. I probably have a messed up view on how easy it is.
