    A level science combo? confused.please help!
    hi guys i will be picking my Alevels pretty soon. i have been wanting to take all my sciences and maths. but realised that that combo would be very tough. one thought i had was to not do biology but to do geography instead. so does this make a very good combo or does it look random and confused?
    the combo:
    physics
    maths
    chemistry
    geography

    or should i do:
    all sciences and maths
    please help!

    physics
    maths
    chemistry
    geography

    is a good combo...the geography adds a bit of diversity

    Geography isn't as good an A-level as Biology, but ultimately it comes down to what you plan to do at University. It's best you figure that out and go from there, but Maths and the 3 sciences is usually a safe option if you are un-sure.

    Good combo, doesn't look confused at all & there's no point doing bio if you're not going to enjoy it

    Probably good you've decided to do an A level in it then :laugh: good luck with it

    Also your A levels scream geophysics...so I'll just leave this here for future reference....

    I'd do Biology instead of Geography...but whatever floats YOUR boat.
