    What do you think of my A level choices?
    Hi

    I'm starting A levels in September at a private college. I'm hoping to become an air traffic controller/pilot when I'm older, I understand that a degree isn't necessary but only training is required.

    I'm planning on taking Chemistry,Physics,RE,Economics(m ost likely drop chem, see how they go)
    Should I replace Chemistry with Maths? I completed GCSE Maths in year 10 and achieved a B(2 UMS of an A), school didn't allow to resit.
    Would A level physics become hard without maths(physics is my fav subject)?

    thanks

    A level physics will be hard with or without maths

    Do you need Maths to be a pilot, if you do then obviously a subject for it

    Best of luck

    My college is really strict about grade requirements and they only ask for a B in maths to do physics so you'll be fine
