    I'm going to do English Language, Geography & Photography.

    If I get the chance to do four, I'll add Biology onto the list.

    GMD was lying about 600/600 in further maths it seems. On this thread he says he has an A* in A level maths but he has not yet done A Level Further Maths. And this is 3 weeks ago he has put this lool

    That letter was also some sort of a forge.

    I was like you, I started AS last September at the age of 18 and I know what you mean about feeling more confident. I was a lot more willing to work hard, I had dropped out of sixth form in first year because I hated it and had no idea what subjects to do. Then I worked for a year and had time to consider what choices I wanted to make.
    Beginning A levels again somewhere else was a great decision and I got 4 A grades in my January modules (History, English Lit, Psychology and Law).
    Good luck
    Oh wow, I'm really happy you managed to come through so well! And thank you! And to you!

    Why are so many people doing 5. We were informed that there was no benefit what so ever of doing 5 other that if you don't know what subjects to choose and therefor will drop one in the first couple of weeks.

    I wanted to do 5; Maths, Further Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Instead I am going to do 4 (Drop further maths.)
    Yeah, how come people can do five? I've never had that option - the maximum at my school is 4 as far as I know. I personally think 5 would be too demanding.

    Is it worth doing 4 and not 3 A levels? I want to do Maths, English, Economics and Psychology and if i do 3 i will probably drop maths

    I wouldn't change from English to Chemistry if you are not passionate about Chemistry.

    Hey, I would suggest that you do some pre-A-level reading for maths, just so you have an idea of the things you are going to study, then the jump between GCSE and A-level won't be so big.
