I am seriously considering taking biology, chemistry, physics and maths at a level, but a lot of people have told me not to, so was just asking is it that difficult to manage? has anyone here taken those four how are you managing? what would say about doing it? thanks
I did those subjects last year for AS, and it was tough work! but manageable. I'm doing bio, chem and maths now. I have to admit i'm quite glad i dropped the physics..hated it!
Maths isn't hard you're right, I understand everything Math related yet I still get bad grades (C/Bs)
Maths just requires alot of practice, it's usually the small details which cost you, (correct signs, correct indicis)
Agreed - like a of subjects .. Biology for example has a VERY picky mark scheme. I hate it, rewarding the studying of mark schemes rather than the subject.
My friend does chem/physics/maths/F.maths and she is coping fine. Another one is doing those 4 and biology and is doing all 5 for alevels but she is just insanely clever so doesn't count. Basically, if you get an A* in each and/or have a good interest in the subject, you'll be fine.
I do bio/chem/maths/f.maths and am getting along fine.
If you really enjoy sciences, to the point where you can study them day in day out for 2 years then you'll be fine. Just dont be surprised when your life seems to revolve completely around science
It's going to be fine as long as you're generally good at these subjects and don't mind putting some work in. They also complement each other well (especially if you take mechanics modules in maths) but I would never do this combination myself because I really don't like Physics.

a friend of a friend did that, and got four A's in his january modules. if you're good at them, it's fine plus a lot of the sciences have overlapping topics, and maths is a big help with physics. there's no reason why you shouldn't other than the lack of variation.

My friend did those 4 at AS and is expected to do well at A2...in fact about 5 people did that combination in my year. From what they said workload isn't too bad, only thing to consider is whether you want a bit of variation, if you like sciency subjects and hate essay writing then great combo, but I personally like to have an essay subject to balance it out so I dont have too much of one thing (my A Levels are maths, chem and psych plus did majority further maths AS this year, did one module on yr12). This seems to be the general consensus from the people who did that combo aswell, some enjoyed it but a couple changed some subjects after AS so they had more of a balance...up to you and what you enjoy
