Alevel problem!!!!!!

I want to become a doctor hopefully in the future and I did not manage to get a B for chemistry to get into sixth forms but I did manage to get an A for bio.....
is it possible to become a doctor with only bio and maths sociology and business as an A level or is chemistry really compulsory ..if yes what career options do I have available to pursue

I'm sorry to say that you cannot become a doctor with no Chemistry at A level. It is an absolute requirement at every single medical school.

What are you on about? Chemistry is compulsory
For medicine you would looking at studying: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Psychology

If you don't achieve your intended results which I would imagine would be AAAB then you can get into a medicine foundation year.

How have you done in Physics? If you've done good in that, do it instead of Business or sociology. It opens up more options for you.

With just biology, the options are a bit low. Research scientist?

Also, as you are doing Maths and business, maybe you could do accountancy?
