(Actually, allow me this opportunity to ward off anyone planning on doing English Language for A2 levels - it's hell  ).

It's nice to know this information off-by-heart anyway! You've impressed a few of us, I'm sure Lauren
In regards to A2 levels of English, as long as the important exam results are a pass at the end of it all, it will be worth it
