URGENT! think ive made a huge mistake with english lit AS

Hey,
Basically, ive chosen maths,bio, chem and englsih lit, and i just feel its gonna be way too hard. Having to read 4 novels before christmas, alongside having exams in january and producing two pieces of c/wrk aswell as extra curricular activites. So i was thinking of changing to RS philosophy and ethica or geog or even french. I would like to become a teacher, or barrister or pharmacist, will i be disadvantaged at all? I want to contibue with maths, chem and probably biology, which essay subject would be best tl take alongside these then?
Thankw

hmm well you'd only need to take it to AS, drop it and take up a new AS alongside your A2s and then you'll have a bigger range of subjects. Plus if you're dissatisfied with your AS grade you can retake during your A2 year

Source?

Can I ask what exam board you are for English Lit?

Well, it's debatable and that is definitely my opinion. From my experience, I know many of my friends whose university choices were limited by taking RS unless it was for a course like Philosophy, Theology, or maybe PPE.

This lays out a pretty interesting debate about whether RS is a 'soft' choice :

I really dont knoq :/ is it worth taking a lnguage only up to AS? Or even an essay subject?

Well done! What did you get a gcse for english lit? Ans thankyou, ill need it! :P

Yes, it is worth it.

What about English Language or Lang/Lit instead?

I got a C in AS english without reading one of the books or poems. I also did pretty average on my coursework. If you're good at writing essays, English really isn't a hard subject.

They ddont offer the combined a leevel at school, nd ive always preferred lit to lnguage :P what would you do if you were me?

What matters more, the subject or the grade?

A grade C in History or any traditional subject looks better than an A* in Media Studies any day.

An A in RSor a B/C in english lit?

I'd stick with English and ask for extra help if I needed it.

It depends more on what you apply for, but generally an A in RS.

Applying for medicine, teaching, law or oharmacy/dentristy

Bio, Chem, Maths, RS should be fine, then.
