No matter how i try to convince my parents im having to end up taking 5 A levels, them being maths, further maths, chemistry, physics computer science at A2 level not AS. My counsellor suggested for me to take AICE now that I am already taking so many subjects and now im stuck in a dilemma where I have to either choose Global perspectives + english + the other subjects i mentioned except chemistry or the 5A level combination from before. The main issue is that AICE would have more benefits but bigger risk since I would be taking 6 subjects and well that could go pretty wrong whereas the other combination of 5 would have less benefits but would be more suited for my career choice and keep more options open (I want to get into AI engineering). My IGCSE grades were good and I took add maths to get a little start on A level maths/ further maths (5 A* and 3 As) but im pretty sure 8 subjects is not anything special in a 2 year time. What should I go for?

i can drop chem if i end up taking 5 and it gets out of control

#

another question, how hard is it to study further maths privately?

#

without teacher

but can be quite of a struggle
