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?
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
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
I'm currently in year 11, and the main think that I am worried about is not actually being able to do the work. In maths I currently struggle with a couple of the topics despite my teacher being convinced that I will get an A*, and I have chosen it for AS. How can I cope? Do you learn to deal with the pressure/struggle?
To be honest with you i think the most important thing is knowing what you want to do in university and then choose you'r options in accordance and make sure they are subjects you enjoy because if you don't enjoy the subject it makes it 10 times harder, that was the case in my experience any way. And A-levels are really not too difficult if you make sure you stay on top of you'r work and don't be lazy. it's just a matter of staying focused and hopefully you should be fine.
It isn't what I would have wanted to do. Its cos colleges here start in July but results come out in August, nd you cant apply with your predicted grades if you're an international applicant which I am. And the subjects I want to take are only on offer in July. E other option is going in January, but I'm assuming that would be more stressful cos that's an eighteen month course.

Have you actually talked to the college about your predicament? They might be willing to make allowances for you

i cant sy for business and economics but psychology needs you to put the work in, but i found it is worth it especially as it is so different from bio and chem. if its OCR psychology AS is about methods in psychology and the other exam (harder) is about approaches 15 studies you need to memorize pretty much and evaluate, A2 ive not covered yet but its changing at the end of this year anyway apparently AQA is easier i hear with only 10 studies and evaluations for AS (i did OCR so dont know full detail for AQA sorry ) Either way if you are interested and willing to work and write in long answer questions its really worth it and is good for most uni courses as the are a lot of transferable skills and ideas
