Is the workload manageable?

[little lake]

Im planning to take the following subjects for A levels:
Chemistry, Biology, Maths, Further Maths

and alongside that im also taking the SAT and the EPQ at the same time im taking my A levels and possibly even the IELTS

I was just wondering if this workload is manageable and if its realistic to aim for 3A* 1A for A levels, and 1450+ for the SAT

definitely possible

I don't have an answer for that, but I am simply curious, by this point, how much had you prepared for said tests?

[little lake]

i havent gotten to my a levels yet im simply just deciding my options first as i will start my a level programme in august and im still currently revising for my igcses right now so to answer your question i guess you could say i havent prepared for my a levels at all

unless revising for my igcses count

Ah, so you will take the A level test during Oct/Nov this year?

[little lake]

nope..! i will be taking the actual a level exams in 2028 i think

first year is AS right? then only AL

Ohhhh, now it makes sense hahah, your discord tag is M/J 2026, and hearing you going to take all those tests at the same time in just 2 and a half months just shocks me hahah

Oh, well then, very possible then!

I never had A levels before, I'm taking them this May-June, but I've had AS level before in my school back in Oct/Nov 2025

Gotta say, it was really hard to focus on other things when your in the middle of a Cambridge test period. I suggest, if possible, you take the SATs or IELTS not when your in the middle of the Cambridge exam period, prob best before or after the exam, just make sure to check the uni's deadlines

Not sure if you know this, but IELTS results comes out in a week or so after the test and SAT comes out around a month and a half-ish from my friends and personal experience, hope it helps!
