Hello everyone, so i finished my AS now i did physics, maths and ICT, i found the Physics a bit hard, i am thinking of taking only maths and ICT in A2, but i see most universities require 3 A Levels... so i am now thinking of taking physics also, but is it more difficult than AS ? and if it is, is it much harder ? hope for a quick answer :)

AS physics has alot of stuff uv'e already studied in IGCSE or O Levels (If u took it) A2 physics has more new stuff, so it might b a bit harder. But if u need any help in anything, im here.

hey! stock i took same subjects & edexcel board! i got DDE in physics and m gonna repeat in jan! i got BB in ICT & AC in maths c1 & c2

i will be giving M1 AND Physics 3 units for sure in jan but the question is a2 ict is so damn time consuming & hard so i am thinking to drop it
and instead of ict i am taking decision to take chemistry of which i have to give 6 units :/
is my decision correct? will i b able to cover chem 6 units till 2014 may/june ??
