    I'm doing it this year too. Just like you I couldn't do it in 5th. Anyways I have been looking at the course and it has a lot of biology and geography so if you do them it covers a lot of the course. There is also a project worth 25% which for me looks easy (but I live on a farm so if you don't it might be harder). I was also talking to a lad who did it last year in one year too, he not only got the course done in a year he covered it twice. Just so you know he got an A2. Also remember that the course is one of the last subjects to do. My second last exam is history and then I've got a FULL week to study(this is going by last years timetable)

    I couldn't tell you coz I've only just started Ag Science myself but people I know find Ag Science easier, one lad averaged a B/C in Biology last year but averaged a High B in Ag Science (both at honors) and the others find Ag Science easier too, maybe coz they are farmers though.

    Read through through this thread carefully, should answer most of your questions, and if there's anything specific after that, maybe best ask it there.
