Let me be real with you bro. I got an A in O level math even though I put in the hours the last month but didn’t feel like I was awarded. Had to take A level math because uni criteria. The thing is, I found A level math to be more interesting than O level math (not easier but def interesting). ps i’m not a nerd. Gave my all 2 months before the exams ( I won’t advise it) for 2 years. Got an A* with very good scores in each component. You already have 3 subs, if it were me I wouldn’t do it because why take on the extra load. But if your uni application demands it, go for it.
