My DS in Y12 has found the step up to AS very difficult. Hiis teachers say he is bright, but he is moderately dyslexic and has a poor working memory. He feels out of depth and is struggling to fully understand Physics. He wants to drop Physics and focus on his remaining 3 AS. He thinks he will achieve better grades by dropping one now and even with massive effort thinks a predicted D in Physics, will probably realistically result in an E/U in the summer. He thinks the effort he puts in will be wasted and will detract from his other 3 subjects. Anyone have experience of dropping an AS early? I'm currently thinking 3 decent AS grades would be better than 4 poor ones. He currently has no idea what he wants to do after A2s and is not sure if Uni is for him. Thanks :)
