I am gonna complete my igcses now, before going ahead to gce A level i wannat to if physics chemistry biology mathematics in a2 going to be tough, if so hw tough is ti goin to be comparing to igcse
-
If you compare A2 and IGCSE in terms of toughness , A2 is definitely much harder.
-
Everything becomes difficult once you start doing A Level subjects.
-
Remember IGCSE was just your base. Worse is yet to come. >:D
No, but if you are through with all topics and concentrate when your teacher is teaching, it will always going to be easy. Practice ALL past papers and go through internet resources if you don't understand a sub-topic or you want to revise. That's all and you can post your doubts here anytime.

not trying to scare u or something but bro your worst nightmare is yet to come..a.k.a A levels
lol sorry for that :-X
-
i think u should just concentrate on ALevels :P .its VERY difficult from IGCSE....................................
-
a level is hell compared to igcse :'( :-X :-X
-
I dont think I have to even say it again, definitely its harder and One thing is one should not procrastinate studies in A-levels.
I dont remember who but someone said, comparing difficulty of IGCSE and A-level, that an A in IGs is like an E in A-level (Its not a fact but just to compare)
I have seen people who got 8-9 A* in IGs and in A-level they got Cs and Ds
So we definitely have to work harder than we did in IGs.
But as Fidato said if you concentrate its going to be easy :)
Good Luck

You can only really make that decision when you've started your A Levels and realise how hard/easy it is.
-
1 year, whoa. Pretty confident eh?
Choose your subjects wisely..If you're a good student, A levels Physics and Mathematics shouldn't be a problem for you.

Ari is right, its not impossible but that is a lot of stress.
Doing one or two subject in one year is okay well not really :P
And depends on how many subjects you plan to take, If you really want to do it in one year better start studying in holidays :P

Hmm thanks ari ,ghost and angel for ur ideas! I will try to think about it again... What if i have a private teacher also? I can finish faster?

To be honest i dont think for A-levels you can only rely on the teacher, I mean they do help but you yourself have to do most of the work.
Its you who will have to take the pressure and stress, If you think you can handle it then go ahead.
And also it might happen that, 'cause of the stress, doing it in one year might not get you the results you expect..2 years will be less stressing.

Welcome :)

Some people here are a bit over,tbh i didn't find much difference between AS and IGCSE till now,except that physics is a bit easier,chemistry a but harder,math and biology need almost the same time for studies are IGCSE,anyway if you want to do good you can,its always in your hands ;)
-
well guys A level FOR most of you sounds hell. In my opinion better relax try to putTING your minimum efforts in studying and maximum efforts in doing research and doing things practically.

I'll be one after i die ;)

no wonder ;)

Heard about the Paki guy who did 23 A levels in 2 yrs only?
Everything's possible if u r ready to put in the effort although it can b quite challenging at times. Also, do not underestimate A levels.
-
^ Yeah, its been a long time now.
I wonder how he did that O_O
Well, yeah, nothing is impossible. ::)
-
A levels is definitely hard!
i did my AS in maths,accounts,business and economics!
in maths i studied everything that was in the syllabus and even did each and every pastpaperS TWICE!
I ended up with only a B in maths!
imagine that much work and still not an A
so u can really think now how hard u'll have to work for your subjects!

Actually you cann't compare these 2 ..A-level is harder than Igcse but it doesn't mean that you should not take that subjects because you wont pass them . it depends on you . you can start with those subjects wich you mentioned in you question.. and if they will hard for, you can drop one subject while you attending your other subjects classes. so dont worry ;)
