Advanced higher physics

6

My school has just done subject course choice for S6 and I had chosen bio, chem and physics all at advanced higher. I got told that there was a clash for advanced higher physics and suggested to take it on the west lothian academy. They provide you a teacher who carries out 2 hours worth of teaching on teams per week but I am aware that the people taking normal advanced higher physics in my school (not on the academy course), would be getting 4 hours worth of teaching per week.
Could anyone give me any advice on whether 2 hours of teaching is an achievable goal to get a good grade on advanced higher physics or if I should maybe look for a different option?

I had 4 hours of AH physics per week this year and even though i consider myself fairly good at physics it was quite hard, we learned quite quick and even then it was close to make it through the whole course. It may be possible with extra studying but more importantly, the project would be really hard to complete like this, i have 2 hours a week at school for project time and many people in the class dont find that enough. I'm not sure it'd be possible equipment wise or time wise for you to get a good grade with that setup.
