Should I teach myself an a-level outside of school?

•

I know you're already juggling 3 A-levels and an EPQ (which is quite a plate full already! GIVE YOUSELF A PAT ON THE BACK)

•

Self-studying is like being your own teacher - exciting but needs extra dedication and time

•

You'll need to be your own cheerleader and task-master (but you sound motivated!)

•

while you can learn with available material hearing insider info from a qualified teacher can be a gamechanger.

Your Subject Options (both super interesting!):

•

Further Maths would be like adding a turbo boost to your current Maths studies 🔢

•

CS AS-level could be your gateway to coding without the stress of NEA 💻

•

Both subjects are challenging but SO rewarding!

•

Your Game Plan:

•

Try the AS-level - it's like dipping your toes in before the full swim 🏊*♂️

•

Map out your study time (maybe those Sunday mornings or Wednesday evenings?)

•

Get your hands on some good study materials (I can recommend some!)

•

Maybe find a study buddy or mentor to keep you motivated 🤝

CS AS-level might be your best bet here! It's like getting the best of both worlds - you get to learn something new and exciting without the pressure of NEA. Plus, coding skills are super valuable no matter what you end up doing! 💫
