Yes, you can. Most people study three A levels over two years (so two thirds of a year per A level, averaged out). You'll be doing one A level over one year - so a reduced workload. :wink:

The lack of a predicted grade in Maths isn't ideal. Will you be applying for degrees which mandate A level Maths, at a high grade?

You say your "grade in GCSE was good". How good? (I ask as unis may be forced to refer to it to establish the likelihood of you reaching their A level Maths requirement.)

Will you be using a tutor or distance learning provider? If so, they may be able to provide a prediction in time for the January deadline.

Yes i will be applying to courses that wants at least an A in Alevel Maths, I thought that I put my btec math units as a reference to them because i got distinction in them
Also how can i add reference to my application as a private candidate do i contact my current college that i will leave this year when doing my application for next year?
