Just as the title says really. Everyone talks about the jump from GCSE to AS levels and how big it is. What is the jump from AS to A2? DS really wants to continue with 4 A2's, we are saying hang fire till the results and think about it then. But I like to be prepared (and yes I know it isnt about me) and if the work will be much harder then I feel I can reliably tell him this. Obviously he and I both know 3 good A2's is much better than 4 average one's.
He hasnt found the jump so far too hard, he enjoys the research and working by yourself method and used this effectively for GCSE's and is very keen to continue. He is predicted A's for AS levels in History, Philosphy, Gov & Pol and a B for Economics although they think he can get this up to an A with more practise on the OT section. In his 2 exams this January (Philosophy and Gov &Pol) he got 98/100 and 96/100. How realistic would 4 A2's be?
