2 weeks into sixthform/college | DROPPING BIOLOGY A LEVEL?!

[@Sarah-pc1di]

Also the fact you’re basically doing 6 subjects and the minimum is 3, please drop one of the available ones to drop, praying it all works out well 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@michaelwhelan7297]

If you were so passionate about biology then you would do a biology - related degree. You are doing law so it’s just a waste of time joining it

[@Sarah-pc1di]

Though you’ll miss it, the weight lifted off your shoulders will be unreal

[@mariyaxxrylee3304]

YES REVISHAANNNNNN!

[@brooms907]

Law is a great career in the future and considering it is something you want to pursue you are clearly passionate about it, and that’s great! Biology is also a great A-Level in general, however the usefulness of it depends on what you want to pursue in the future. The knowledge gained in biology is not generally relevant to law. It is all about understanding systems and utilising logic, which is helpful skill when it comes to law, however universities of course tend to look for essay-based subjects for law and the other subjects you do alongside biology are a perfect combination for pursing law in the future. Biology does highlight the skills you have. Being able to learn and comprehend a large amount of content and analyse it in a complex manner are also great traits. However, you also did get outstanding grades for your GCSE’s and are on the top percentile of students, which may already show that you’re capable of learning content with ease. Since it is such a content-heavy subject, it will interfere with the other subjects you do. If it is not giving you time to study and work for your other subjects, I definitely would recommend dropping the subject. Alongside dropping it you will gain the free periods, which you can use to work on your other subjects and gain a little amount of rest (sixth form is a killer). Universities will definitely look at your other subjects since you want to do law, and hence focusing on those to ensure you gain the results you want in 2 years time is what I would recommend. From personal experience, I have a love for both computer science and history. I want to pursue computer science in the future, and although I enjoy history to an incredible extent I did not take it since I knew it wouldn’t be helpful. Just make sure whilst focusing on your studies, you’re focusing on your health, mentally and physically! All in all I am completely confident in you getting into Cambridge for law and you got this!

[@Diaxminator]

I'm in Y2 of college now and I dropped Biology after the first year because it was too hard.

[@abeer3988]

You’ve done the easy part of biology! It will progress and you will get more stressed out! The free periods are so valuable and it will definitely feel as a massive relief. It’s not related to your spired degree so overall you do not need Biology!

[@Sahil-tv3ef]

hmmm maybe drop biology but base your epq around biology (the parts you like), that way you get more time to focus on your other subjects but also you get to work on your love for biology through your epq. but im not too sure.

[@AB-mb8uy]

The thing is often its better to link epq to what subject you want to do at university. Sometimes someone's whole university interview could be based on epq.

[@Sarah-pc1di]

@@AB-mb8uy yeah that’s so true yk, unless he wants to go into medical law

[@_daissh_]

You do whatever you want, whatever makes you feel better 😜 I just want to say, I've gone into Year 11 this year and its likely I'll do my GCSEs. I started revision the first day back because I know then I put 100% effort in. My first mocks are in November, History, and your videos are soooooo motivational! I also watch Udoka Fintleman, emmaxolouise, Laura Medley, all of the gcse study videos and you are so helpful as well so thank you so so so much!

[@Diaxminator]

I like you and all bro but you're forcing it at this point, this is college and it's much harder than you think. Biology is so much content, I don't think you realise how hard it's actually gonna be. As I said, I dropped it after a whole year of it. If you wanna do law at uni and Biology takes so much time then you should 100% drop it no doubt. It's very not worth it. As you also said, you go home and just do biology, which again won't help you do law. I'll say it again, this is college and the jump is huge and from this video taking Biology is not worth it by any means.

[@ezinneobih2989]

since it's not related to law, i think you should drop it. it would give you more time to make sure you're getting the highest grades you can in your other a-levels and EPQ

[@fortniteu34]

why didn he pick law a level?

[@NoumanSami]

To be honest, I would say drop biology, because of all the time it's taking up for you, and if you ever wanted to, you can just go over the content in your own time.

[@madkam5745]

hello nouman sami

[@simrannahar8262]

Trust me there will be no spare time in year 13 as a biology student. The content burden will only get heavier, then there's law that's a very demanding subject in terms of supercurricular activities if ur considering the top Unis. So I would definitely suggest u drop biology. 100%. When the pressure will hit hard ur passion and love for Bio will die out and backfire

[@oliverflavell992]

8 hours more of free periods. It’d be a no brainier.

[@abiraa_03]

I would say drop bio as uni’s only focus on your 3 a levels and usually ignore the 4th a level. I’m also in year 12 and find bio okayish🥴

[@aoife5673]

Well they dont ignore the fourth as you've said but it's not necessary to have

[@eceozhan8772]

I’m doing Edexcel AS level biology and for us we currently do not have much work to do

[@Revishaan]

Luckyyy

[@Hgfggdggghfg]

Drop bio. I just did my end of year 12 exams and I do chem and German alongside bio. Bio takes up sooooo much more time. The extra time to focus on your eqp/Latin/french could be the difference between getting into Cambridge and not.

[@nourarakji3857]

If it affects your mental health then you should drop it that’s my personal opinion. I did the same thing and took too many classes and ended up dropping one of them and I can’t tell you how much relief I felt

[@katieee6898]

i think i should drop it it will give you much more free time to focus on the subjects that will be helpful for your future in law! also you can still study little bits of biology in your free time if you really love it, just without the stress for needing to revise it and get a grade in it!

[@oldmanjenkins3245]

drop biology and take a level law. its so fun, it is not needed for law at uni, but it relates to what you want to do and takes less time than bio

[@mariyaxxrylee3304]

Why don’t you drop another subject?

[@nctxt]

He can't. Or he could drop a language, but they don't seem to be as stressful for him (based off of what he's said in this video). It seem his Italian and EPQ he can't get rid of, they're mandatory. He's really enjoying English Language and seems to enjoy Latin and French. Therefore, the only viable one to drop is Biology

[@mariyaxxrylee3304]

@@nctxt ohhh ok

[@fikayo.t1400]

[@Ai.CEO.]

Bio is such a important subject but since you want to go into law there is not much point in doing it

[@summerrrrr8399]

If you love biology can’t you drop one of your languages honestly there are so many you could learn the language at home you don’t have to do the a levels

[@studylilly275]

Biology is a subject that is really enjoyable and can becomes a passion. Honestly tho if you want my real opinion here it is: If it’s got absolutely nothing for your future and it won’t really benefit you there’s really no point, your drawing yourself in irrelevant stress. Why put yourself in that position? A level is already a bunch of stress and dropping it would reduce your stress which is really important. You will have sooo much more free time. You could be doing other things that you also really like. I’d say drop it, it’s for the best.

[@sulm9370]

Drop it, For so much work you’d want it to be more beneficial to your courses. Further biology is also very practical based and if you don’t enjoy that then what’s the point? Quality should always come before quantity. A G8 gives you an amazing chance at doing well in a subject a level and to even question that is so wrong. If you’re enjoying English keep at it! Maybe try and speak to your teachers and ask about dropping epq/Italian? Epq is slightly more useful but you’re already doing a language. I kinda have the same problem too, doing languages and essay subject with a random biology lesson lmao

[@AB-mb8uy]

I mean an alternative is moving to a school where you don't have to do epq or Italian. But since you are doing an essay based subject for uni epq would help you alot especiallyin interviews. I would drop biology as it is a very time consuming a level and since you are doing law it's not a necessity. But if you would rather do biology than Italian switching schools is an option

[@fortniteu34]

i have a question why did he do international gcses?

[@samiabdi67]

I saw someone comment that ‘if you loved biology so dearly you’d be doing it at uni’ and I completely agree. Drop it.

[@Revishaan]

Done

[@Sarah-pc1di]

Same Ishaan honestly love Biology too, but spend more time on the subjects you need, you could do your EPQ on biology or medical research, even extended reading can keep you engaged on the subject! Did you say 12 extra 40min periods?! Without a shadow of a doubt, you’ll get A*s either way lol but for stress relief and that fact that you spend 3x longer on Bio that the rest of them combined I’d say drop Biology

[@danielribeiro7126]

Hey Revishaan! I will be doing my A-levels as an independent student as your videos help me a lot. I intend to do the AQA exam board, do you know if I can just do the A-level exams or if I also have to do the AS exams in order to get my a-level certification?

[@Revishaan]

No idea... I think you can just do the A-Level

[@theprospectoriginal]

TBH I would drop biology u can still study it in your own time

[@yeetersmcjeepers7130]

You can still explore biology itself as a hobby (you get to miss the PAGs) and you can look at the topics you like without dealing with *cough cough* plants. Besides for doing law, from what I’ve heard, you only need essay based subjects, so I’d drop it.

[@Revishaan]

Thank you so much!

[@AshVentureOfficial]

I get how ya feel, I dropped biology after taking it for a day as the workload was way too fkin much, expected me to complete a 24-piece page homework and thereafter a 90 over the week, I can't lmao

Drop bio 1000% if you want to pursue law but if you enjoy bio THAT much, pursue a bio career. At the end of the day it's really up to you though. Goodluck! 👍

[@meowpurrr]

considering you’re taking english and linguistics / languages, these work very well together in terms of university course choices and future jobs. the biology is the odd one out, considering you’ve said you want to go into law, i would put your most effort into the english, latin and french, the other thing you need to think of, these biology lessons and study time is taking up valuable time from your other subjects, at the end of the day, A*A*A is better than an A*ABB bc if you cannot give the time to your other subjects, and instead is using it in biology, your grades across the board will most likely suffer, i personally if i was you with the intention of going into law, would drop the bio, and put the effort into the other subjects. for me personally i’m taking bio, chem, physics, maths, further maths with the intent of going into medicine so it hurts me as a bio nerd to say drop it haha but there’s no point keeping with it if it’s going to be detrimental to your other grades, hope this helps, at the end of the day you know best, jsut don’t overload yourself 4 a levels with an epq is a lott aswell as the italian, even 3 a levels epq and a new langauge is ambitious so the best of luck towards you

[@krishpatel7358]

Looking at the fact you wanna do law so you don't need any concepts from bio I think you should drop

[@lucadev8596]

I'm doing maths, chemistry, physics and computer science, and I've been struggling myself to keep up with the content, as I really want to get as many A*s as possible (I only got seven 8s and 9s at GCSE which is okay but not god-tier). I've been trying to organise my time as well as possible and it has been working, so if you're struggling to decide, ask yourself if you are organising your time the most efficiently to get the work done as well as other things, and if you think you are, I don't think you should be sticking with biology, plus I don't think it is too important for law anyway. Always go with your gut!

The way I see it, time is money. And if you weigh 480 mins(8 hours!!!) of your time more to be less than your passion for biology, keep it. But if don't, I guess you should drop it and make life easy for yourself. Don't take on too much, especially when it has nothing to do with law. But it would feel like that crash-course you did in summer and stuff like that was for nothing. It really is up to you at the end of the day and all your viewers trust you to make the right decision for yourself and your future

[@nctxt]

DROP BIO I re-picked biology at the beginning of Yr13 bc I thought, “I don't NEED it, but it's a subject unis might look for” but in reality, I changed my mind on what job I wanted and bio was no longer needed. So, less than a week into Yr13 I dropped it and picked up English Literature. It was a great decision. Did I double guess my self hundreds of times before making the decision? Yes. Did it cause a surge of anxiety? Yes. But I am better now for it? Yes. I wasn't willing to gamble my place at uni on biology. As well as that, I was an English Language student. Coursework is going to be a kicker at the back end of Yr12. Both sets kick in, and you've gotta be ready. You won't have the time, and you're likely to have completely burnt out by that point. ++ your GCSE grades mean nothing now. Forget abt them. They say the jump up at Alevel is either. Nuh-uh.
