Guessing you would advise me to take physics....
I dunno which one, physics is well respected
but dramas easy and I'm good at it!
Ive chosen to take Maths, Physics, chemistry, biology and French for now, but not sure whether it would be more beneficial for me to take Further Maths instead of french, because that's more in the forte of subjects ill most likely pursue.. but then I'm worried unis will see me as someone who is only strong in the sciences and so i wont look diverse enough...

I guess so, I know that Sciences and Maths are like the most valued skills in the working world, ESPECIALLY MATHS-leads to many careers in the working world. But always do what you like and think about the career that leads to it. Ask yourself these question: Will there be SERIOUS competition, Do I need to have qualities that set me apart from others in this field i.e. journalism. So yeah :smile:

I want to be an engineer as well YAY for engineers but I want to go to Imperial the best for sciences!
Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics & German. I would have loved to study Geography in place of German but it clashes with my Maths so I can't. I hope I get the A or A* grade I want for GCSE Maths. I'd love to have the option open to study Further Mathematics if I do well at A level Maths. :smile:
It's really not as exciting as you all seem to think

Hi guys! Jumping on the bandwagon around here...

Hopefully, I'll be taking -

Geography, chemistry, maths, further maths (dear lord!) and anthropology - a new A Level my school is offering as of September 2013! :smile:

However I'm also considering physics and possibly business studies... Also I'm hoping to vary my reading and consider English lit... Bit weird, I know, what with all the sciences! I don't really want to do further maths but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to take to put myself at an advantage for studying chemistry! :P

Government & Politics, economics, maths and physics. Plan to drop government and politics after AS though because of the poor career prospects.
