Choosing your A levels? Your questions answered here!

Hey everybody!!! Id like to study either business or a ppe/hsps course at uni, and at the moment I'm thinking of taking a levels in french, chemistry, geography and classical civilisation. Are these ok? If not, which subjects should I not do and what should I replace them with? Any help much appreciated thanks!

Right, this is going to be a long post detailing my ongoing internal battle between two things that I love. Please don't get bored before the end, I genuinely need help.

My A-Level options are currently Spanish, French, English language and history. I love all four of these subjects but I think the one I love least is history. However, over the last few weeks I have begun to feel a gnawing sensation within me, and I have realised just how much I am beginning to miss science. Now, that isn't to say that I'm not missing the others, but I regularly have conversations in Spanish and French with my mum and so I am constantly surrounded by them. But in the recent weeks that have marked my leaving school, I have begun to question whether I really enjoy history as much as I think I do, as there will be an enormous workload and it will be a huge commitment - that is, will I miss doing history as much as I feel that I miss science. The science in question is biology and when originally choosing my options I had a hard time deciding to take history over biology, and having worked out from previous modules my ideal mark for an A*, I believe that there is a high likelihood that I have been able to achieve it (touch wood!!). I am also predicted an A* in history. Another factor is that history would be easier than biology to continue as a hobby, and I realise that by not taking any science A-Level, I have closed off a huge amount of career paths. Now, although I am pretty certain that I will eventually go into MFL teaching, there is nothing to stop me going into a science career either.

I am incredibly grateful if you actually read the whole of this post and I am not entirely sure if it makes sense, but I would really appreciate your feedback - I am also going to find my biology teacher on results day and discuss this with her, especially if I do get a really high grade. Thank you so much in advance!!!!

Okay, so both options are social sciences along with their daddy philosophy. Why are you picking chemistry?

Because as tess rach said I think I would miss doing science. However I guess I could drop it. Should I perhaps do philosophy instead?

I was goung to make a point about business studies being a waste of time as an A level if you want to study Economics.

Not necessarily, it depends what subject you wanna do or where you wanna go, contrary to popular belief, there isn't much overlap.
