If you could go back in time and repick your AS levels, would you?

I wanted to do Bio, Chem, Phys, Maths, Spanish. I had to do Chem, Phys, Spanish, Maths, further Maths (turns out FM was the only 5th A Level we could choose). I ended up dropping Spanish and FM at A2 in the end.

Really wish I had done Bio though. And then applied for Medicine...

FO SHO.

I did: English Literature, History, Drama and Theatre Studies, Philosophy and Ethics, General Studies.

I would repick: English Literature, History, Physics, Spanish Level 2

I was very happy with english and history, but drama became an absolute mare and I learnt nothing in philosophy and ethics - other than the brilliant life stories of my teachers and how to contemplate the universe over a cuppa. General Studies was just a giant waste of time. Physics because I was interested and it would be useful.

I would have
I did: Psychology A2, Chemistry A2, Geography A2 and Economics AS

I should have done: French, chem, geo and physics
I would not have done psychology mainly because I hated the exam board we did in my college, so perhaps if it was AQA instead of OCR i would not want to change it.

Yep!

If I could pick them over again, it'd probably be Biology, Chemistry, English Literature, French, Maths and Philosophy.

Yes. I would either have picked Further Maths in there somewhere, or if I was still doing an English, I would have taken Literature instead of Language.

Possibly would have changed Art for another, but otherwise I'm happy.
Odd thing is, because my school is so small I ended up taking a subject I hadn't even thought about before just to fill in the option boxes, but I ended up enjoying it.
