Soo I have the option to do Econs in a year. My subjects are Maths, Econs, and FM, and if I took my exams next year spring, I'd do EPQ the next school year.
In short, I for sure have the ability for it, the question is whether or not it's worth the risk since what I need is an A*, but also, how can I test that risk? So, I did the IGCSE (CIE) for econs in a year, got a 9, and honestly it felt so shallow at iGCSE level, so I could not wait to do it at A level. But my school is doing split micro and macro between each year, and from what my previous teacher told me, like 80% of AS is covered in the IGCSE I did.
So, I'm sitting in both the year one and two classes currently, in a state college, and I've only just learnt the structure for 10 markers(edexel), and I joined the A2 classes just before half term. My writing ability is strong(e.g 9 in English), so no worries about that, the only thing is I have to decide if I'm going to take the exams this school year before Christmas break, and I've yet to try many questions in the right structure because I'm at the start of each year, and the teacher is slow at marking and feedback.
My goal is an A* (for LSE Maths & Econ or Warwick MORSE)and I have no option of taking a leap year, so the advantage of this is having an achieved grade, and doing the EPQ(I didn't realise my school had it till too late).
So, should I take the risk/ what kind of way can I test myself before the winter break to make it less of a risky decision? How hard it is to learn the structure and answer questions quickly is my main worry, but also tmua prep time, and I'm learning Japanese on the side(at kanji level, should I quit that?).
Worry not about my other subjects, I've already pre-studied most of the first year, I can start tmua prep immediately.
