So DD suddenly says she regrets not doing chemistry and we have a year left ie she's in her second year of a levels now ,is it possible to catch up ?
If I got a tutor ,would it be possible thinking about experiments ? I don't know much about chemistry
She's very bright and works hard she got an 8 at gcse

I would not endanger her current a levels as adding a 4th one to be done double time will inevitably lower her grades on the other 3 a levels.

If she really wants to, she can take a gap year to do chemistry a level. You’d have to pay tuition to the 6th form, but it is super cheap.
