Dd is now in Year 11 doing her GCSEs. She took Maths GCSE in Year 10 & is doing additional Maths this year. Her teacher is encouraging her to do AS & A2 together next year with the view of doing Further Maths A level in Year 13. She is aiming for medicine and will take up Physics, Biology and Chemistry on top of Maths. She can of course drop one of the sciences after AS & and do Further Maths but she can also carry on with the 3 sciences and not do Further Maths. Just wonder whether there is an advantage, or disadvantage in doing A2 Maths a year early? Some universities state that they prefer all the A levels in one sitting but surely they are frowning upon retakes rather than doing a subject early! Anyone with any advice please.
