    What do you think of this A-level programme?
    A2 Maths, A2 Psychology, AS Chemistry, AS Biology.
    ...would you class that as a heavy programme?

    I would switch Psychology for something else, unless it's a field you're genuinely interested in.

    I took maths, chem, bio and psychology and dropped maths after AS. Its quiet a big work load, but totally manageable. I hate psychology personally, as it's so 'unsciency' and boring, but then other people enjoy it so I suppose it's personal preference.
    When you say you are doing maths and psychology A2, have you already done the AS or are you thinking about taking these subjects on for two year?

    I've done Maths and Psychology AS this year...I couldn't do Science AS's because I didn't have GCSE Science last year, I did that this year so im going to have to do a year 3 which I didn't really want to do but because of the Science situation I have to do so.

    Oh okay, well it sounds like a good plan. I found psychology A2 quite easy, especially compared with the sciences. I didn't do maths a2, but my friends find it quite a big workload. Biology and chemistry AS aren't too bad, but are a lot more work than the gsces, but if you have already done two AS subjects then I'm sure you're already aware of the gcse to a level jump.
    Best of luck with them, and feel free to ask anything else!
