Edexcel IAL exams do not have to be taken at the end of the course in June. Exams can be taken in January, June and October and are modular which means exams can be taken at the end of each unit of study, or throughout the programme of study when a student feels prepared and ready, or all together at the end the course. 

 This allows students to split the unit exams into separate exam periods helping them to focus their preparation and gives students have more opportunities to get feedback to improve their performance and get the grade they need to progress.  

It is important to realise that P1, P2, M1, S1 and D1 for AS are the exact same module (exact same content and same exam) as for an A Level student. The only difference is that an AS student has to take them as some point within their first (and only) year, whereas an A Level student can sit them at any point in their first or second year. You need P1 and P2.  I’d recommend S1 for AS, then P3 and P4 with M1 for A Level.

For example one could do all of the P1- P4 exams in January (if those exams are available there and then), get your results and know how much more you need to do with your applied units in the summer.
