    I have to choose my a levels pretty soon- but I can't decide between Psychology or Business and Economics! The ones I'm sure I'm doing are: Biology, Chemistry, and Maths. Thoughts?

    If you retake a maths module exam from January and do it in June and get a significantly higher grade (going up three grades for example) and your as results have not been cashed in yet, do you have to declare the retake grade on your ucas application?

    I am currently in year 10 and want to study medicine, preferably at Oxbridge. I can do four of:
    Maths
    Chemistry
    Physics
    Biology
    History
    for A-Level so which combination will be the most useful?

    Also, how hard is it to settle down in a new school and become head girl, prefect etc?

    3. ''Will the work stay this hard?''

    Most likely, yes, however you will get used to it. Once you start to settle down it won't seem that bad at all so don't panic just yet! Just keep on top, don't leave things too late and stay calm and you'll survive :yep:

    so im guessing then things will get easier as time goes on??

    if you want to do medicine, it is advised you must do biology and chemistry plus one other science subject (eg maths or physics). then i guess it you could do history as your fourth A level to show that your not just a sciency person when you apply to uni. however, if you decide to do drop one subject after you do AS, then drop history. so you will have 3 A levelsin biology,chemistry and you other science subject.

    im dont know much about becoming a head girl/prefect. you just have to show you are the best person to do it using your inner self confidence.

    I started a new college and it's not hard settling in just be friendly to everybody you meet and don't get on the bad side of your teachers for the obvious reasons

    Hey just a quick question, is it feasible to skip the first month/the first five weeks of A levels and then settle down afterwards?
