intakes april or july?

soo i’m a bit late but i graduated igcses nov 2025 and taking a levels later this year i was wondering if it would be a better choice to pick july (with a 4 month head start) or april (4 months late + we take exams the same time as jan intakes) i would like to take july but it would also mean i’ll graduate a lot later- what do you think would be best?
