Biology AS or A2? (urgent)

--- Quote from: Ang3l on September 03, 2011, 03:46:04 pm ---Okay, I decided to finish the edexcel AS biology course this summer. I thought i could do it but unfortunately i couldn't finish all of it *its a long course*.
Now, I need some advice from people who have done Edexcel A-level biology.
School is starting after few days and I need to decide if I should only do AS and forget the A2 or should I start with my A2 and continue with my AS as it is. Is that sensible? I asked a few other people and they said that both are related so it will be difficult to do A2 without properly finishing the AS part.
My university requirements will be fulfilled even if I do only AS biology but the reason why I thought of doing it as an a-level was that A-level means a lot more than just AS and it will make my chances of getting into uni higher.
Suggestions?

I did not take A level biology, so take my advice with a pinch of salt. If you're planning to give A2 biology in November and you've not finished AS yet, it might not be realistic to opt for A2. If you're planning to give A2 in 2012 June, you can go for it. :)

^ Yeah, its jan :P
If i go for A2 then this is how it will be:
Jan exams ---> AS Bio unit 1 + unit 3 and A2 bio unit 4
June ----> AS bio unit 2 + A2 bio unit 5 + 6
And including my other subjects which are Math, Phy, Chem
I havent touched unit 2 for AS bio and if the start of A2 requires me to have an understanding of AS bio unit 2 than i will end up understanding nothing, so this is my another main question --> Is AS and A2 both related as in to start with A2 do I need to finish up my whole AS course or unit 1 will do for now. ::)

Ang3l I don't know about Biology.
In Math if you take C1 and C3 ,you won't survive since C2 concepts are the like the basics before going to C3 and C4 which are the 'in depth'.
I hope I helped =]
