A-Level French Speaking (AQA) - Could I do this?

For the photo card I know(?) that you always have a choice between an AS or A2 theme. Does this mean that you could only learn stats for 1 year's content? I don't want to risk it unless I'm sure it would be OK but it would make me way better if I only had to learn half the amount

I did this for my mocks and actual exam in 2024, I preferred the y13 topics to y12 so learnt everything for those topics until I knew them like the back of my hand. It paid off for me, I got an A in the speaking section in both my mock and actual exam. Always a bit of a gamble but if you feel okay with that, then I don't see why not

That's great to hear thanks! Why do you say it's a gamble? Just because the photo card you revised for might not be a great question? Or is it at all possible that they could give you 2 from the same year?

Yeah exactly, I was a bit stressed about the A2 question not being a great one but to me that risk felt easier to take than having surface level knowledge about y12 and y13 topics, if that makes sense. I highly doubt that you'd ever get given 2 cards from the same year .
