I did the same as your father. It was possible to sit the Oxbridge exams in the same year as sitting A levels but my school felt that this made the year too demanding and put all one's eggs in one basket (if one didn't get a place on the basis of the exam, it risked damaging one's A level marks and not getting a suitable place at any other university)
