So I'm giving my O level exams this year and then I have to choose whether I take AS or A level.
I need Biology and Chemistry for the medical field and after 2 years I'll be going to the UK. So if you guys could help me in what I should take, it would mean lots to me because I'm in a very confused state right now. Thanks

As level is a part of the A level cousre
A level is a 2 year course in general which contains As(the first year) and A2 (the second)
but some people plant to give A level in a year it depends on your results you o levels results actully if you are a really bright student why waste a year go for Alevel(1 year) but if you don't wanna take a risk go for AS and A2

i suggest you do AS, its a like a warm up for your A2
so if you do well in your AS you could do the other A2 papers next year
otherwise you can resit for the papers
doing all in one go is risky, but depends on you, if you can do it, then go for it! all da best!

Don't take a risk with giving complete A'level, better to give AS in the 1st year and A2 in the 2nd.
