Help Choices + Crohn's Disease

Well Hello,

I am coming to the end my GCSE's now and thinking about A-Level choices. I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease a 2 years before I started my exams this caused me to miss many classes and lack in my revision. I realized that all I could do was try by best and see how it all went. I have support from my school and such with lots of consideration and documentation. I have been thinking that I would quite like to do ‘Biology’, ‘Chemistry’ and ‘Business & Economics’ A-Levels. Yet I’m rather worried that having Crohn’s Disease and poor GCSE results it will prevent me from being able to do what I want.

I understand that A-levels are hard, but I have found that the GCSE course content I was in school for and learnt I understand and I get right in tests. I do know that when it comes to A-levels I will be in school full time to learn but I’m not sure if I will be able to make up for rather lacking GCSE’s.

If anyone has and thoughts I would very much like hear them.

Thank You

What do you think that you will get in your Science GCSEs? Do you do triple or double science?

I wouldn't recommend A Level science subjects unless you are very confident with Unit 3 stuff at GCSE although I have seen double science students excel at A Level. The content is much harder than at GCSE though, many find that they don't enjoy it. Chemistry and Physics require A LOT of home study. They don't seem suitable for your needs but if you feel that they are your best options just take them and try them out. You could always drop and change in the first couple of weeks - I'm sure your teachers will understand.

Good luck.

I have Crohn's Disease and I am studying A-level Biology, Psychology and Maths. Also did AS Chemistry. I'd only recommend doing Biology and Chemistry if you're reallllly good at them - they're very hard as I have found out haha
