Start revising soooo much earlier for the exams!

[ray-chill]

I kept changing my mind so much before and during year 12 and ended up with the wrong subjects. I think it would have been best to stick to arts subjects but the best combination might be:
Maths, Further Maths, Pschology, Photography and either Art/Media at AS.

anything over ICT. Waste of my life and my teacher was rubbish

For anyone just finished AS or A2.

Anyone love all their subjects and wouldn't change a thing?
Anyone wish they'd swapped one or two, if so for what?
Anyone wish they'd have just changed them all and gone for a different route?

Just as a bit of fun, and I thought it might be interesting to see if there's a pattern for certain subjects.

I would never ever take chemsitry, wish I had just stuck to maths,physics,business, economics... maybe take maths out too..or physics, even though I love them, wish I had also applied for economics instead of engineering

Would've done Spanish instead of Geography I dunno, one day it just hit me how much I enjoyed learning Spanish and I could just tell I would genuinely enjoy learning new words every day. It'll be less of a trek to revise for it than Geography I think..

I would have kept chemistry, but swapped sociology, history and government and politics to maths, economics and French.

[Chiseph]

I wouldn't have taken 5 AS subjects, that's for sure. Probably shouldn't have taken Art. I should have listened to my mum... (a former university Art professor)

Re: If you could go back in time and choose A levels again, what would you do differe

I am getting my AS Results this August, but if I could go back I would drop philosophy for media instead. I didn't enjoy this course at alll

[Infinitescarcity!]

Taken history instead of business...

[Charlesworth]

I would probably drop biology and do something for my fourth AS. Only problem is I don't know what else I would have taken, which is the reason I took biology in the first place

[lou_100]

Loads have said they wished they'd not taken Psychology.

Is that because you find it hard or just boring?

[rock_climber86]

seffo do history, chem and biology! in that order

I'd have done a full A level in physics instead of only taking it to AS and i'd never have done AS psychology. what a load of ****e that was

[bhx]

I would have done BTEC Media, save myself the effort..

But with A-Levels, I done a lot of them over my 3 years.
I've done:
AS English Lit, English Lit&Lang, Gov&Pol, Psychology, Architecture, Media (only passed Media har har har)
A2 History, Philosophy, Film Studies
The worst was definitely English Lit for me.

If I could pick them now knowing what I want to do at uni, I'd pick History, Philosophy, Film and Media and carry them onto A2.

Do Further Maths in Year 12 instead of ******* Latin -.-

[Calllu-m]

I wouldn't have taken French HL to begin with and instead of faffing around for a term just dropped French and taken Spanish or Chinese.

[XxelliexX]

I did the IB, not A levels, but I would've swapped biology for environmental studies (which is a little bit like geography)

[lou_100]

It's strange to think I nearly put down German and English in the place of RS and Biology.

I was so so close. I wish I'd have done English not Biology

[Rarrgh]

Take IT instead of psychology and actually make sure my teacher in Music was giving me the correct work at the beginning of the first year instead of half way through the second

[Holby_fanatic]

I loved all four of my A Levels!
I studied Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Physics.
