This sort of question comes up quite a bit. I generally respond as I'm about to, and then ask for the person to report back how it went (so I can feedback their experience into future responses). I've even contacted people in results day to ask what happened. No-one has even provided any such feedback, which makes me suspect that things didn't go as planned.

Most people do three A levels over two years. Some people do four, and end-up with a very full timetable. Four A levels over two years is probably about the same effort as doing two A levels over a single year. So to do two over in four months you'll have to put in three times the amount of effort that someone doing four A levels over two years would. Does that sound achievable to you?

Let me put it another way. A single A level is designed to take 360 hours of study. So you'd be trying to do 720 hours of study across four months, or about 180 hours a month. That's roughly 45 hours per week. That doesn't sound so bad, does it? It's means studying for 9 hours per day, and taking the weekends off.

Please do report back what happens. :smile:

Are you saying that you’ve been learning these subjects for a year and a half and you want to know if you can revise them fully in 4 months? Or if you can start learning from scratch at this point?
