Extra A-Level Advice

Hello! I am looking to do another A-Level for points. At the moment I am going to be studying; Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, Sociology. I need a course with no CA and lots of exams. What is your advice?

Can I ask you why you are trying to do an extra a-level, what course do you specifically want to do at uni and what unis are you aiming for?

Most people who do an extra A-Level usually do Maths or a language to boost their employability or to get onto a specific course.

I don't know about how Ireland works, but if you just need ucas points you can do something like critical thinking etc

You've selected some good A-Level subjects and if you are planning on doing economics like you have stated edexcel and aqa are multiple choice and tend to be a lot easier than ocr. Personally i think you should just do the four and concentrate as much on doingg as good as you can in them and do some volunteering alongside it

Good luck with whatever you choose
