How to pick your A-Levels #1; advice from Eve Bennett

[@bethanyleigh9691]

Don't take a subject you don't like or you will be miserable . If you have a passion for the subject or even a general interest , you will do good as you will be more willing to put the work in . Saying that , I took an A-level that I loved at gcse and HATED It , so keep your options open !

Nebula - Agar.io - I know this comment is from 11 months ago now, but just on the off chance you happen to see this, I was wondering how you found doing 4 a-levels because similarly to you, I’m wanting to do Maths, Physics, Product Design and Art and I’m a bit concerned about doing 4 a-levels with two of them being heavily coursework based? I don’t know whether to do just three and potentially prevent ‘diluting’ my grades or go for the four.

[@isobelconibear4203]

I am currently in lower 6th form and study maths, physics, chemistry and biology. Make sure to look at university courses that you want to do and their A-level requirements. A levels are a big step up, but they're not that bad if you put the work in. The sciences do have some overlap, so they complement each other. I didn't decide my 4th A level (physics) until after I got my results, I thought about doing geography before, but eventually decided on it due to my grades. This was not a bad choice, getting As in it. Remember that you can read up on subjects outside of the A level, by doing the EPQ in it, if you do not want to do the full A level.

[@phoebes1317]

I'm taking biology chemistry history and psychology and took history and psychology as a sort of rest from the sciences as they're hard but I love all my courses and I wasn't sure what to take originally as I had no idea what to do in the future but I would advise to keep your options open for what you'd do at Uni as you don't want to restrict yourself and then not want to be in the career that the subjects you choose lead to. Take a wide range :)

[@phoebes1317]

My friend wants to go into engineering in the future so is taking physics and maths. She's not the best at maths either so I'd take those subjects and two or one other that doesn't replace to them for example geography or history for example and then you may find come to do the a level course you might not enjoy maths and physics as much and may come to love the other subject you do. Keep your options open and look ahead into uni and see what courses you're interested in and see if they have any specific a level requirements and the grades needed then think realistically if you think you'll be viable for the subject!! :)

[@alicedoesphysics]

Olivia Stobbie I did maths and physics for two of my A levels, and loved it, so I would definitely recommend them! 😊 To be honest, the way to get a good grade in maths is just do lots of practise (what I did at got an A*!) so if you're willing to put the effort in (which I assume you are from the fact you love them haha) you should be able to do well 😊

[@Outlaw7502]

Olivia Stobbie well most sixth forms require you to get an A at least in maths GCSE to do it at A level, so if you don't get an A/close B I wouldn't recommend doing it as it is extremely challenging.

[@hypermangi8265]

I have chosen: Business Studies, Computer Science, Triple Science (Triple: Chemistry, Biology, Physics). The paper typed that: Pick one from this side, and pick 2 from the other, and a backup (I chose PE pathway1/2 Idk the difference, apparently, one of it is the work side, the other is the ACTUALLY physically PE ting). However, I picked 2 from this side, 1 from another since one of those subjects I really wanted to do but wasn't in that category, it was in the other. (The side where you can only pick 1). And so, I was like, you know what, I'mma do 2 from this side, 1 from another even though it's 1 from this side, 2 from another. And yes, THEY LET ME, WEEEWWWWWWWW! (I didn't had to do the Backup since there was space for me, LUCKILY!). (Edited) Auto-Corrected the term "Business studies". (Re.Edited) (You only pick a backup just in case you didn't went/go/not enough room/space to be in that subject, so the spaces are limited).

I'm in Y12, wanting to change all of my A-levels from English Lit, Sociology and Philosophy to: Physics, Maths and Chemistry. This means restarting Y12 and resitting GCSE maths. My school strongly advised against this (understandably), but I decide my future, and I have always wanted to do Aerospace engineering in an apprenticeship after Y13. How did this happen? Firstly, I chose English etc. because I did not meet the Maths grade needed to take science. Unfortunately, I did not distribute revision time evenly with the sciences and Maths. I had a natural aptitude for Maths, so i thought I could get on fine. I thought that I could somehow force myself to love English, Sociology and Philosophy and that I would end up doing Law in university. But, I hated the essay dense homework, although I am a hard worker- it's just not my passion. So, yeah. I screwed up. But can my sixth-form really force me to continue with my current A-levels? I'd be incredibly unhappy with my future job! Stay safe everyone! :)

[@Primrose_Kitten]

Ultimately, your school can’t force you to do anything this is your decision. Think about 5 years time if you don’t change and if you do and then do what you think wil, work best for you. It is a big change, could you resist maths in the autumn?

I am finding it so difficult to choose only 2-3 subjects for A-level since I like Bio, Physics, Chemistry, Math, English, Arts however I can't obviously choose them all. I thought to be a doctor but I am afraid of so many things, there are other options when looking at medical such as pharmacist, dentist, etc but I am not interested in those. I feel if I choose Biology and Chemisry, I might get bored and tired of them later on. I personally love architecture too but then it's just the same case, afraid of getting bored with it later on. I don't know if this all make any sense, but I'll be grateful if anyone can give me some advise as to what to do?

[@sarahgough999]

We're in a similar situation:') I'd advise you to take a mixture of A Levels - maybe Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Art since Biology, Chemistry and Maths are good for medicine, and Maths and Art are good for Architecture. You can always change your options a few weeks into the course if you change your mind and don't like a particular subject at A Level. Taking a mixture would also mean you won't be limiting yourself to one path, and should keep you interested for another couple of years before you have to narrow it down again. Good luck!!

Yeah I would definitely take biology - it links to psychology, and also any A Levels with "studies" at the end are considered soft by universities, so unless you're really interested in it, I'd advise you not to take it :)

[@user-ub8oi7oh3r]

Beth Langley BIOLOGY. BUISNESS STUDIES IS USELESS AND POINTLESS AND BORING AND STUPID.

[@xxemilyjanexx4920]

Beth Langley hey! I currently do business studies at Gcse and love it! Although biology is a great subject, it really does depend on what you want to do. If you're looking into universities/further education after college then maybe biology is better option. As at the end of the day if you want to do business in college you may as well do it straight after college instead of Uni. All in all, go with your passion and interests like eve said, don't do a subject you regret and will never use!

[@bethlangley5485]

XxEmilyJanexX Thank you xx The problem is I really don't know what I want to do after A levels and at the moment Uni doesn't really appeal to me!! At the moment I'm leaning towards biology but I am worried that it will be too difficult and stressful!! At this point I think I just want to keep my options open but business could be good for that too!! 😩😬

[@caitlinfleming2442]

I wanna do 2 or 3 a levels. It’s possible in the school I’m going too so If I done 2 I’d rather that bc I can put all my focus on them 2 an get the highest I can try an get.

[@yorkielover2676]

I would do 3 preferably. what did you do?

[@thalias6945]

I don’t enjoy ANYTHING

[@yorkielover2676]

ahh honestly same.. what did you do?

[@juliaszewczuk8584]

Hello. Would you be able to B1 aqa gcse revision video?

[@lunaaalovegoodxx4882]

Jula Szewczuk shes in collège now not highschool go on primrose kittens channel she has it

[@tobi7559]

i was thinking of philosophy, business and geography? is it good or?

[@MLegacy100]

Tobi B lol no. try business and economics m8

[@anileht1451]

Tobi B i would suggest choosing at least two facilitating subjects

[@bhg582]

change philosophy. geo is kinda boring but idk

[@adriennesamantha]

I am choosing French, Spanish, Biology and Chemistry!:)

[@saraho5488]

QuiettePeakActually I want to take French and another language but I only did French at GCSE, do you know if I will be able to do another language I have no experience in?

[@adriennesamantha]

Sarah O Yes if you speak to that language teacher and you're prepared to do a lot of work over the holidays! :) To be honest you could probably fit a year into three months easy! If I was you I would speak to the teacher and make it clear that you're really eager and then they can help you. What I would do is learn all of the GCSE vocab which you can find on Quizlet or Memrise normally - if not make your own account. Personally, I love Memrise. Then I would start watching films in that language so you're used to hearing it then when you're confident enough do the GCSE reading past papers and listening papers. The listening can be quite hard in any language so make sure you have a strong knowledge of it all! Personally I would learn all the vocab and watch films until three weeks before the start of the year and then work really hard to complete past papers. This will get you in the learning frame of mind before school starts! I think it is very doable as long as you're hardworking. What language are you thinking of choosing?xx

[@saraho5488]

QuiettePeakActually thankyou very much! I am actually still doing my GCSE's (I'm going into yearI11 in September) but i really want to have a career in languages, I was considering taking either Italian or Spanish (probably Spanish as where I will probably go to do it doesn't do Italian I don't think)

[@adriennesamantha]

Sarah O Aahh! Good luck! Yes they are both nice languages - Italian is basically a mixture of Spanish and French! 😁😀 If you want any help for Spanish then you can ask me if you want and we can contact each other!

[@saraho5488]

QuiettePeakActually thankyou so much that would be really helpful!! x

[@abdullahdelab1075]

I'm in year 9 but I want to know how many A level options you can have

[@francescadyson7858]

Abdulrahman Ahmed usually it is 3 but some people take 4 or 5 x

[@florallucy2053]

People get to have a day in sixth form?! At my school we never get to experience the sixth form here until we are actually in it

[@ayaanali947]

In a levels what extra clubs and sports etc should you do?

[@charlottemcclay8568]

KZbin user whatever you’re into!

[@willowabbott346]

I'm definitely doing maths and biology at a level but I don't know what to do for my third and possibly fourth. I was think chemistry (but I don't enjoy it at all) or geography (but I didn't take it at GCSE and my parents tell me not to) even though I want to do down the biology route. Can you help me?

[@sarahgough999]

If you didn't take geography at GCSE I'd suggest that you don't take it - it's building on what you learnt at GCSE so you'd have to work really hard to catch up! Chemistry would go really well with Biology and Maths(especially if you're considering going into medicine since it's very competitive), but if you don't enjoy it then I wouldn't take it because it'll be a lot of work so you won't really be motivated. Although you may enjoy it more at A Level - it could be your current teacher that makes you dislike the subject? You could also take a look at the syllabus to see if it seems more interesting than GCSE. However, if you still don't really want to take it, and just considering taking it because you feel like you should, then I wouldn't take it. If you have a variety of interest in subjects, I'd suggest maybe to take completely contrasting subjects like English Lit - then you won't get bored having similar subjects, and may even decide to go into this subject further, and would show that you have a wide skill set, from being logical to being analytical etc. If you are interested mostly only in sciences, I'd advise you to take Physics since it would fit well with your options. Hope this helped you a little bit! Good luck!!

[@aena5995]

how is maths going? I take Bio Chem and Psychology but was thinking about switching from psychology to math , i have missed a few classes but i am not sure is maths too hard? My mom says takin psychology is a bad idea and i need to take maths instead what do u think? Btw i do the cambridge cie board. Will taking psychology limit me in uni ? How is it going for u , everyone says its waay too hard so i hope u reply

[@laurenblood5301]

Is it going to be too difficult if I take biology, chemistry and psychology (3 sciences) for A-Level as I need them for medical school which is where I want to end up?

[@aidenwatler7153]

Probably late but in my opinion that sounds good. Psychology will be a break from the more intense Bio and Chem, just check if you need math...

[@Samira-lx3yf]

I'm going to do A level science next year. Any advice of how to revise science well ? Xx

[@alicedoesphysics]

Samira Dari I did Physics to A level (A*) and Chemistry to AS level (A), and have videos about how I revised them on my channel - in case those are some of the subjects you're thinking of taking, I hope that might be helpful? 😊

[@Samira-lx3yf]

alicedoesphysics what is AS may i ask ? And yeah i'll check out your channel x

[@alicedoesphysics]

Samira Dari AS level is the first year of A level (what Eve is currently doing) and it's graded A - U 😊 I hope it helps a bit! x

[@Samira-lx3yf]

alicedoesphysics thanks x

[@mishx2710]

hey guyss...pls recommend what should i choose sciences or buisness studies? I AM VERY CONFUSED . people say sciences are harder and difficult to get grades in as for buissnes studies are easier.

[@thephilosopher1663]

sciences give you way more opportunities

[@Francesca-dq9lr]

I was considering choosing, art, photography and drama but none of them are academic. So I was thinking, should I switch photography with geography, because I got an A star in my mocks for it, however I don't like geography...and it the only academic thing I'm actually good at. I don't know what to do really?

[@evelynmidgley7620]

Francesca Pajovic I feel like I have the same issue. I don't really know what I want to go into and I want to do English Literature, English Language, Media and Music and I'm concerned I don't have a mathematical or scientific subject. My sixth form application has to be in Friday and I'm really stressed. In my opinion I'd say go with what you like because you'll be spending so much time on the subject.

[@bertiecooper6698]

Francesca Pajovic If you want to go down an arts route then I wouldn't think not choosing an academic subject would matter

[@Francesca-dq9lr]

Okay, thanks for the advice, and hopefully when I go to the sixth form 1 to 1 meeting I'll be able to get an even better understanding too :)

[@sarahgough999]

If you're not interested in the 'academic' subjects, don't take them! If you're definitely not going to take them further than A Level, there's no point taking them, unless they will help you get into university etc. However, in your case, I think this won't be true, since you don't need an 'academic' subject to get onto one of these courses. I'd only advise you to take an 'academic' subject if you were interested in a wide area of subjects. In my opinion, take what you're interested in - the subjects you listed seem to compliment each other since they are all creative, and you'd probably do well in them, too, since you're interested in them.

[@sianemily8308]

Any thoughts on welsh, business and sociology? x

[@charlottemcclay8568]

Sian Hayes business and sociology sound good and a language is always helpful whatever it is xx

[@joannafernandes6589]

Two A levels im pretty set on taking are psychology and Spanish and I want to do a third but im conflicted. I feel pressured by so many people to do biology rather than Health and social care/philosophy and ethics (which im also interested in). So many opinions and voices telling me that I won't use Spanish for my future and that I need to take a science etc ahhhhhhhhhh

[@aena5995]

I take Bio Chem and Psychology but was thinking about switching from psychology to math , i have missed a few classes but i am not sure is maths too hard?

Aena Mustafa psychology is a good subject universities wont look bad on it at all

[@jemimahhenry]

I wanna do economics and business studies by I feel like they kind of overlap😩😩

[@prettyme4387]

then take 2 more subjects

[@sophieJENKIN]

I want to do Psychology, English language, Biology. But for my fourth I can't decide between law or chemistry. I'm interested in criminology x

[@AliRiazAliTheBaba]

Sophie Jenkin chemistry is very quantitative. If you're not an a or a* student in maths, don't take it

[@hgriffithshlg]

I've decide on: German, English Language, Music & EPQ. I'm mad. I'm actually mad.

[@racheleachus8308]

Hannah Griffiths Just wondering, what is EPQ?

[@GreenTornado]

Rachel Eachus It stands for Extended Project Qualification.

[@saskia2499]

Hannah Griffiths how does that make you mad? There’s much more challenging combinations than that ...

[@sarahbarnes9993]

Does your school encourage 4 a levels? I know it's a grammar school but I'm surprised because mine is encouraging to take 3 so we get 3 good instead of 4 average

[@racheleachus8308]

Sarah Barnes Same with my school! They say that 3 A* grades are better than 4 B grades etc. I can understand where they are coming from and currently I have only chosen three subjects but I am considering taking a fourth and dropping it in the first few weeks if I find the workload too intense or difficult!

[@racheleachus8308]

And my school is also a grammar school

[@sarahbarnes9993]

Rachel Eachus I'm actually starting off year 12 with four - further maths being my fourth - and then I can drop it if it's too much because my school is going linear so no more AS levels ☹️☹️

[@racheleachus8308]

Sarah Barnes Good luck to you with your maths! I am honestly terrible at it but I'm sure you'll do amazing whatever you choose. I've chosen English Literature, History and Performing Arts so far...
