(Posting From My Mothers Account)
Is this combination actually going to be useful to me or are they too similar. I want to do a maths degree .

No, it's fine.

Nowadays Universities actually prefer unrelated higher grades to specific lower grades, if there's something you're better at swap it with one of the maths because two similar courses might get difficult however if you think you're good enough and you're teachers (knowing your grades) say it's a good idea then go ahead.

Maths is actually my best subject so would it be best to leave it as it is
A really nice combination! Especially if you decide not to do maths at university and you want to do Chemistry or Physics at University.

These are the 4 subjects I've chosen. At our school we had a man from Cambridge uni come in and talk to some of us about our choices and he told me that these are the top 4 subjects to study for a degree in maths (which is what I'm aiming for too
) So yes they are great as long as you can do them and you enjoy them.Original post by BobSausage

They're pretty much the perfect subjects, assuming Additional Further Maths isn't an option. I know a few mathmos who did exactly those subjects.

Me too. My brother's been offered a conditional place for September, so hopefully I can use him for anything I don't know and somehow get in in a couple of years.

For Cambridge you'll need STEP as well. Not even STEP I, we're talking STEP II and STEP III. It's something worth looking into sooner rather than later.
Thank you I will

get rid of chemistry, you dont need it since you want to study maths and plus you only need 3 a levels

My school requires me to do 4 at AS level and then I can drop one at A2. Would you suggest a replacement or keep chemistry?
