If you're gonna do it in one year then you will have to invest every day into studying for it. Even then you will wish there were 25 hours in a day. Get my drift ?

Just think to yourself - why am I hurrying ?

The major question is : are you capable of doing it ?

Only you can answer that question. Just remember that an A* in your IGCSEs isnt an indicator that A Level Physics will be easy.

Yah I think I'm capable. I got 90%+ in all my 8 O level subjects including physics. (Bragging  ;D)

Then do it, but remember that you will be juggling other subjects too.

Hmm, I'm just not sure about the relative difficulty compared to other A Level subjects. All my friends say that it's in general a very hard subject. Do you know how the difficulty compared to CIE further maths? If the difficulty is around the same I don't think I'll have problems.

LOL, but A level Physics is easier than I expected!!

Continuous efforts matter more than the outcome.
