Yeees, I know the workload I am going to face and if it is going to help me enter a better university I am obviously willing to take it.
I'm not worrying about Spanish, as I live in Spain and the A-Level is rather compulsory because absolutely everyone gets an A with hardly any study.
I think I will neglect Further Maths and decide between the other too, as I do not really like mathematics. The thing is that if you wish to pursue a business-related career, you don't actually have to take the BS A-Level. Sciences will probably do fine then, according to my teachers.
Well, in my school many people have taken 6 A-Levels and they've done or are doing just fine, and say that if you work hard it is perfectly achievable.

You didnt answer my question. Are you doing CIE, OCR or Edexcel A Levels ?
Where do you plan to continue your higher education ?
Six A Levels. You plan to do all of them in two years ?

All my subjects are Edexcel except for Maths, which is CIE.
I am planning to continue my education in an American university.
Yes, I plan to do all of them in two years, as it has been done many times before.

Yes. Any person coming from the science stream should do fine in Business, especially if he/she is good at maths. But I would still advice you to check your target universities' websites to see if they have certain subject requirements for A level. (just to be sure)

Are you sure they have completed six A2 subjects ? As far as I know, completing six A levels is quite difficult. It could be that they have completed 4 A2 and the other 2, AS. You may wish to cross-check it.
Anyway, like all other things in life, completing 6 A levels is possible if the person is very determined.

I think u shld really think abt this twice!!!
cause 6 AL subs is really dificult!!!
and lik u i'm also currntly doin my 5 A2 subjects and find it very challenging!!! and my 6th subject i'm doin in nxt jan!!!
I also did 12 Subs fr my O Levels(IGCSE) and I must say O Levels is absolutely nothin compared to A Levels!!! being getting
11A* and A at O levels!!!
Frthermore u shld really think abt the profession ur planning to do because doin Chemistry,Physics,Maths and Biology shows tht u want to becom a doctor or other medical related profession!!! but if u r plannin to do Engineering or maths related course @ da college do furthermaths plus doin Spanish fr A Levels doesn't add much points at college unless ur planning to do languages at the college!!!
One more thing, A Levels is completely difficult course so don't even compare it to O Levels and wit da introduction of A* to A Levels ,it's very difficult cause u need to get an average of 90% at A2.
the current percentage of students getting A* is very low(students doin 4 subs) so the number of subjects u do doesnt matter but the number of A* u get matters alot....so my adivice is unless ur absolutely sure to get A* frm a subject don't do it.
I say so because doin 6 subs cld affect ur main subs lik Maths , physics and chem so if ur sure and confident...best of luck and do it!!! and also keep in mind u have roughly 36 units to complete @ A Level
18 @ AS
18@ A2
so think about it thn have a plan and if u think u can ... GO FOR IT:)
MKh:
what A level grades did u get nexus?
Its jst for my concern bcoz i hav gven my A2 xamz this jan... :)
