Should I drop one subject? maths and triple science...

I got my AS results and for the work i put in i desrved to fail but somehow i recieved very undeserving results.

Maths - A
Chemistry - B
Physics - B
Biology - B

I was wondering shoudl i drop a subject as most students do? I wanted to take all 4 next year, and the fact that i got these grades with no work all year and cramming the week before i feel if i put effort in this year i can cope with 4 A2.

Bear in mind this is the new spec so i will be doing as and a2 sciecne exams this summer if i choose to carry them on.

Also despite getting an A in maths i feel i will definetly want to redo all 3 papers and aim for as high as possible.


So basically jjsut wanted advice and wehter i should carry on with 4 or not, and is there anyone who has done this, particularly with these 4 subjects and how much did you work a week and when did you start and what grades did you achieve?


Thank you very much.

Thanks for the reply, Could i possibly ask what makes you say so? I want to make a well thouhgt out decision so would like to hear your reasoning.

If you're sure you can handle it, defo keep it, this really enables you to stand out.
and worst comes to worse, your school will allow you to drop it before and after your mocks in november/december if you feel you can't cope

No it's too much work I was in your situation last year unis don't look at your 4th subject so what I did to decide was start with all 4 then dropped my least favourite after a few weeks

Im in the same sort of situation

Maths - A
ICT - B
Chemistry - B
Physics - C

ICT is all course work next year so I know I can get a high grade so I will be keeping that one and Maths I am keeping. I am either going to drop Physics or keep doing 4 and I can't decide, do you know what you are going to do yet.

Its your A levels. If you think you can handle 4 you go for it. Don't let anyone put you off if you want to do them all.
If it gets hard then you can drop one I think seeing as offers will be based on 3 subjects usually.

You'll probably get a teacher tell you that 3 good grades is better than 4 mediocre ones but tbh
if you are thinking of taking 4 a levels then you wouldn't let that happen.
Worse comes to worse you can neglect the 4th that doesn't matter in offers and do well in 3.
