Is it possible to get an A in A-level maths as a private candidate?
So currently i am a btec computer science studented my grades are pretty good and im projected to get three D* or 2 D* and a D but i was wondering how difficult A-level maths is. I got a 5 in gcse maths however i didnt try in it at all infact i didnt try in much of my gcses but I'm willing to put the effort in now.
So my question is currently im in year 12 should I do it next year so i can apply to uni at 18 or should i do it in a gap year to have more time to revise and secure the grade. If I do it in year 13 i will do it alongside my btec but i also want to do both AS and A2 in one year.
Im not sure if its worth doing it or not but i truely belive it is especially considering the uni i want to attend requieres it. And also i dont know how hard the subject is compared to gcse i belive if i tried in gcse maths i could have got an 8 and if i choose to sit A-level in the gap year i can go over gcse content next year and possibly retake if i want to.
Regardless i am going to look further into this during the summer holidays but i just wanted opinions of those who have done it or are doing it.
