    Oh my goodness I am so so bored! I feel like I need to be at school!
    Everytime I think of results I feel so nervous and sick :s
    I'm going to a new school which will be very scary but the induction went okay, so I feel better now I know people
    i'm taking Geography, French, English Lit and Psychology but I might change French or English Lit to Biology, depending on my results

    Well I'm hoping to do the natural science tripos as Cambridge, but most probably at Durham or Bath and so I need those subjects really! And to add salt to the wound I also have to get A*AA :rolleyes:

    What do you want to do with your chosen subjects?

    Re: A-levels
    I would loved to have done A level French well to AS Level anyway. I have a B in GCSE French. I am 22 in November and am considering a night class in something so many options that I would like to pursue. I read that 'A grade A in the language is preferrable for potential success at Advanced Level' on the college I have chosen website. I got a B at GCSE Home Economics and got A at AS and then an A at A2 but I know languages are a totally different game. I work so hard and believe I would pull off a C/B at least in French. Any thoughts?

    Oh wow! Good luck! Hopefully you'll achieve those grades.
    Well tbh I'm not sure! I've always been really undecided about what I want to do, so I've tried to keep my A-Levels open, doing subjects I enjoy so hopefully I will find a career out of one of them! It worries me not knowing what I want to do with my subjects! :s

    That sounds like a sensible plan; according to what I have been told, the best way to keep doors open is to do a science, maths and something essay-based.
    e.g. chemistry, maths, history
    But that's only from what I've been told; of course it doesn't apply to me since I know where I want to go so I may not have listened properly and may be giving false advice!

    Well I've been think about maybe changing one to Biology because I really like Geography and lots of universities that do geography ask for biology as well I know what I will do will be something to do with my A levels I'm taking but I'm just not sure which ones yet!
