I'm thinking of:

So you will only learn 4 at school?

Choose Chemistry as your fourth then because it is considered the hardest Science. :h:


Yea that's the plan hopefully! :cool:

Chemistry isn't 'hard' (I've read the AS book), it's just a lot of calculations and memorizing quite a bit. Understanding the actual concepts isn't that demanding to be honest.

Maths , Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry & Extended Project
I'm taking 4 subjects - Physical, Education, Design, Technology. Most people take 3 but I'm different.
I think I'm doing Critical Thinking, Economics, History, Politics and Maths.

I'd recommend Maths over Physics if that is the options you have for the last block. You'll learn a lot more content in Maths which you can apply to other fields in comparison to Physics. However, Physics is more applied so it tends to be a bit more interesting to most people.

Sorry to blow your bubble but most people take 4 AS anyways :biggrin: Afterwards, in Year 13, they cut down to 3.

Fair enough. :tongue:

Chemistry wasn't my first choice anyway. :tongue:
Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Geography. :smile:

I seem to be the only one doing Computing nowadays. :frown: Oh well, I've been a programmer for a long time so it should come naturally.
I'm taking Biology, Chemistry, Physics and History :smile: oh, and school makes us take either General Studies or Critical Thinking on top of that, I'll be taking CT I think.

I love programming. It isn't offered in my school though :eek:
Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths and English Literature.

Can't wait really. Which is a bit sad, to say the very least :redface:

A-Levels are exciting because there is no more Citizenship for me. It's not exciting because I have to self-study two A-Levels ;(

Edexcel. Apparently Edexcel is harder than OCR. That's the general opinion of sixth formers I've talked to.

Replace History with Economics and we would be identical :biggrin:
