no problem...just give the papers in the 2014 november session though then you will have to give the A1/A2 papers together because the A1s carry on only to the next year for example June 2013 to June 2014 and apply in the spring 2015 or apply fall 2015... or give your exams in Nov 2014-(A1) & June 2015-(A2) ... no need to be hasty.... it might seem like the most important thing right now: to do what every other student is doing... but it really isn't...too many students have ended up choosing the wrong career, the wrong degree, some haven't even finished their degrees just because they didn't think through clearly at this critical juncture in their lives... so keep calm and don't act your age, act like a grown up

many students take a gap year usually the sensible ones... it does not affect your college app... you can do several internships (good ones not useless internships where you do not learn anything) till fall 2015 .... learn relevant software... give SAT1 and SAT2.. build up your student application's weight... in your personal statement tell universities you wanted to explore different options and also wanted to see the type of work that is done in organizations so that you could choose a suitable career ... also to find out more about yourself and a suitable career follow this advice http://career-symposium.ca/assets/career_awareness.pdf

however, making use of your gap year takes a lot of daily discipline and maturity (maturity can be defined as taking 3 seconds to pause & think through before acting on every impulsive thought or getting caught in the moment); and it also makes you realize how well you can organize yourself without the school life.. once you go through the experience of the gap year self discipline trial ...you will be able to manage your uni-life in a much better manner because at uni you are on your own no one spoon feeds you and lecturers are usually more lazy than your average school teacher

also speak to a school and try to arrange practicals' practice somehow

then i suggest you keep checking khanacademy.com for quick revisions of theory ... i do not remember the A-level chem,bio, phy syllabus but i think khanacademy.com covers the basics

use schaums' outlines for chem, bio, phy for questions practice
use the candidate response booklet .. order it from here.. these candidate response booklets show you exactly what examiners are looking for
http://www.cie.org.uk/cambridge-for/teachers/order-publications/

these videos cover Advanced Placement chem bio phy.. so they should cover A2 syllabus to some extent lets say 70 to 80% topic wise but how much in-depth i cannot say, however these videos can serve as a good revision of sorts.. these videos are from educator.com
http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8579134/ ---- chemistry collection
http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8986021 --- physics collection
https://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/844...nced_Placement_Biology_with_Dr._Carleen_Eaton --- only advanced placement biology

you can also try videos for chem and phy.. from mathtutordvd.com torrents
https://thepiratebay.sx/search/math tutor/0/99/0 ----- search for physics level 1, 2, 3 and chemistry level 1,2,3 -- do ntoe though the complete collection torrent might not have all the levels of chem or physics

the time table will depend in large part on how much daily time you can give.. i would say atleast 8 hours a day so that you can give 2 hours everyday to each subject and take only 3 to 4 minute breaks after every 40 minutes or so... as rule do not waste the A-level pastpaper questions for early stages in your prep... use schaums' outline and even SAT 2 subject tests if you want... it will give you extra practice

Thanks! A Level. So, lots of practice?

yea maths at this level is pretty much about practice ... it is not as if you learn how to develop mathematical proofs at this level

the videos (khan, ttc, educator, mathtutor) will teach you concepts... schaums' outlines will be practice.. plus on piratebay, 4shared, scribd, there will be many math books with solutions.. some with answers only other with step by step solutions ... schaums' always has step by step solutions, so does the demystified series

http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/3790908/ -- here is one torrent... you can even search for specific books
