Impressive, I'd say pretty likely as long as you also get those grades in the real exam :smile:

Well I thought it was 3 too, but then when I went to the open evening at LAES, they gave a paper that said:

HOW MANY A LEVELS CAN I TAKE?
‘Our application has been set to a minimum of 3 A-levels. If you would like to take Further Maths, you must choose 4 A-levels. If you would like to study a language, you may also take 4 A-levels if you wish to.’

Eitherway tho, if it actually is 4, then ud prob js get emailed I think 🤷*♂️
