Title: How can I take AS level and one A level in one year?
Post by: mubashir on September 02, 2009, 10:04:31 am

I'm doing AS Maths, AS Bio and AS Geo in school.
And I want to do A level Maths in the same year.. how? Will the British council let me? can I do them both in May/June?

They may but you need to be sure your grades wont drop. In the current climate too you should not rush. You will find it difficult to get a job when you graduate.

Here are the possibilities from the cie website

Assessment Options
Option 1   Take all papers of the international A Level course in the same examination session, usually at the end of the second year of study
Option 2   Take a 'staged' assessment route – take the international AS Level in one examination session and complete the final international A Level at a subsequent session*
Option 3   Take the international AS Level only, either at the end of a one-year or two-year course. The international AS syllabus content is half an A Level programme.

I wonder why do you want to give both levels at the same year, it will be hard
