    Should I drop Physics or Maths if I want to do a Physical Science course?
    Hello,

    I am doing Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths. However, as I am moving into A2, I want to drop one of them, which one do you think I should drop if I want to do a course which is a physical Science? I want to drop Maths, but is dropping Maths better?

    Thanks.

    Should you not drop biology?

    I'd have thought Physics and Maths would both be very relevant for a Physical Sciences course.

    Drop biology, it isn't a hard science.

    Maths, Physics and Chemistry is definitely the best combination if you already know you want to do Physical Science at uni.

    If you want to do physical science then drop biology? Your answer is in the name. Don't drop maths, I personally wouldn't drop physics, and I LOVE chemistry (plus it's the "middle" science), so don't drop that
