If you wish to take four subjects. If you have decided to take 4 subjects then go with the subject that interests you most.

You told that you will have to self-study, interest is most important thing while doing this. If math doesn't interest you then leave it, as an example if you are struck with a topic you will find ways to fly away from those  topics. If it interests you then you will find solutions to your problems. You will do fine in your self-study without any teacher if you choose the subject that interest you most.

nah
im just telling u to think twice before taking a step
ask urself this---->will i be able to manage 4 subjects?can i self-study 1 subject on my own?
plus its good to take 4 subjects,obviously
for me 4 was easy to take because i had really good teachers too!
hmmm...
i can do it! but if only its easy to understand!! for me!
yeah it was easy for u because u had good teachers...my teachers aint that great!


By the way why do you want to take 4 AS,do you want to continue into A2 or not,I'm dropping all sciences and going for math A2 and ICT AL next year :)

By the way what the difference between computing and ICT,I'm self-studying as well,I'll be free most of the classes at school  ;D
yeah im continuing in A2! i want to take 4 subjects because i want tooo...sometimes i want to take 5! :P  :-\

hmmm..computing is more theory and ICT is more practical! but they are both kinda same!

why are u dropping the science subject?? what do you want to be??

ICT is all about databases & programming rite ?
I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code. ;)

Which one interests you. It seems to be computing.

Now the battle between computing and ICT. As everyone said about both topics. I love programming, practicals, theory and all. Computing has an A2 Coursework, you can program your software and this coursework is worth 60 marks. I am doing computing, programmed my software in Visual Basic .NET-Access 2010, works fine with all database connectivity. You can even work on practicals while your course goes on.
