Choosing your A levels? Your questions answered here!

I think they are good choices for Alevel to do law
My boyfriend did those (and politics) and he's doing law at LSE

^ I'd say the same as above (just a good qualification in A level music to carry on to degree level) but for a few universities/conservatoires you need at least grade 8 trinity guildhall in some sort of instrument. But this is only for some I'm looking into the same sort of career options as you are.

I'm just deciding on my a levels and I am currently thinking of doing Chemistry at uni.
At the moment I've chosen
Biology
Chemistry
Maths
Economics
I am considering changing economics to german. I chose economics initially as i thought i would find it interesting and fairly easy. However i am wondering if i should take German instead as it might be more useful for future jobs. I have never found german easy but am predicted an A* for GCSE (Although I suspect I'll get an A at best).
I'm just worried that any extra work required to take German instead may drag my grades down in the other subjects.
so my question is...do you think that German is more valuble than economics for the sciences and is it worth taking it if it may drag down any other grades?
I hope this question is in the right place...

Economics would make it easer to get onto an economics course at university if you enjoy it that much, but for chemistry, it doesn't matter at all. Both are respected and traditional subjects. Further maths A-level can be advantageous for chemistry admission at university, but is isn't a requirement, and some people could get bored of double maths anyway.

If you honestly think that German will drag down your other grades then don't do it. If however after GCSE results' day you think you could cope without German affecting anything else, then choose which A-level you think you would enjoy most and/or do the best in.

My school is always encouraging us to take language A-levels because they found some statistics that say: "Those who speak a foreign language to A-level standard often get 5-10% more salary in the same jobs than others do who don't have a language A-level", so that might be something to think about.

Some universities have chemistry degrees with industrial placements (lasting an extra year before you graduate), which often need a language A-level depending on the country you go to.

I was looking at your sig and it says you are doing financial studies next year? What is that, I've never even heard of that as an A level before.

At my school we have to do general studies, critical thinking or financial studies. It's not an actual A-level; it's a diploma from IFS, but it still gives you UCAS points equivalent to an AS.
