    I think I'm going to take maths, chemistry biology & history. I want to take physics as well but my school wont let us do 5 subjects :/ I want to study medicine at uni - do these subjects sound like they will be the right choice for that?

    Maths + Further, Physics, Japanese, Music.

    Expecting to see lots of enthusiastic future music students, I haven't come across many so far.

    Edit: WHY IS NO-ONE DOING MUSIC?
    I love music I would have done it if my school had decent teachers :L They don't know what they're talking about so :/

    Maths, Economics, Psychology, Spanish and A2 Turkish (As I will be doing my AS this year- I'm in year 11)
    I may have to do Further Maths in my second year instead of dropping a subject

    Fun times when you are all doing hardcore subjects. I'm doing maths, biology, english language and religous studies, I was thinking of changing english or RS to chemistry. But I don't think i'll be able to cope with hard subjects. What do you think guys?

    It depends on what you are hoping to study at university.

    if you want to do medicine i would recommend you drop history after As or possible consider swapping history for physics :-)

    I've probably already posted but...
    OCR Chemistry
    AQA Biology and Economics
    Politics - exam board = ?

    And I am proud to say that four individually coloured wallets are labelled and ready to be used come the summer, when I start the introductory work set by the college.
    Blue for Chem, clear for Bio, pink for Politics and purple for Eco... so geekily GORGEOUS!
