Computer science a-level without Computer science GCSE

this is my first post so im not really sure how this works but im in year 12 I just started 3 weeks ago and I feel like I'm really behind on everything while the people who did GCSE know what's going on and I feel lost, I just wanted to know is there any other people who did the A-level without doing the GCSE and achieve high grades?

Yes it's definitely possible. The learning curve may be a bit higher initally, but if you put the hard work in you should be fine!

You'll be behind for the first few months, naturally, but if you work hard you'll catch up relatively soon and you won't even realise you did anything different.
