If you could pick ANY A-levels...
I can't be the only year 11 thinking about A-levels already, especially on TSR.
Unfortunately not every school/college offers all a-level choices, and some people don't really have a choice which college/sixthform they go to due to location.
So if you could pick your *dream* subjects. List of subjects found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Advanced_Level_subjects
Obviously no-one has set their choices in stone yet so its all what you think you would do.
Preferred Subjects:

I'll go first:
Preferred Subjects: Art and Design, Maths, Computing, History of Art
Actual Subjects: Art and Design, Maths, French, ICT BTEC(ugh)
Comments: The only colleges that offer my preferred subjects are a boat/plane journey away with extraordinary fees so I'll be stuck to my school sixth form
EDIT: Non-year 11 feel free to participate.

Preferred Subjects: Philosophy & Ethics, Photography, Sociology, Economics, German, History (with better unit options though), Maths, Classical Civilisation
Actual Subjects: Maths, History, German, Geography
Comments: My school didn't offer P&E and Economics (a nearby school that did didn't offer German), my school only offered Sociology via distance learning (one hour a week video conference with a tutor), Photography was in the same option block as Maths, only one school/college out of my city and the neighbouring city offered Classical Civilisation, but it didn't offer German, and I couldn't find any state schools/colleges offering Latin (I'm in year twelve)

Preferred subjects: biology, history, english literature and philosophy.
Actual subjects: biology, history, english literature and chemistry.
Comments: should NOT have taken chemistry (only took it because I wanted to do vet med at the time), and my sixth form only did philosophy and ethics anyway. Happy with biology, history and english literature now anyway
Preferred Subjects: Biology, chemistry, physics and Spanish
Actual Subjects: Biology (at home), chemistry, physics, maths, Spanish and French. Oh and general studies if you count that (it's compulsory).
Comments: I'm taking way too many. I had to do biology at home because it's in the same option block as physics - which I thought was really stupid along with my science teachers but life goes on. I'm taking Spanish and French at the moment because I got a higher grade in French (although it was only a couple of UMS difference), I'm also taking maths which I don't really like but it goes well with physics especially the Mechanics section.

That's a heavy workload!
Is anyone not taking General studies? At my school they let you drop it if you do Art & Design because the coursework is so heavy you get extra lessons instead of doing General Studies.
Preferred subjects: Sociology, media & economics
Actual subjects: English Literature, Language, Spanish (Chemistry for AS)
Hate all my subjects

I know
Unfortunately no, it's completely compulsory at my school. I could do less subjects at another school and do the exact ones I wanted but it's an hour away with public transport. I do still have 2 free periods at my current school and we have an hour and half for lunch so it's not too bad. The teachers are really helpful and understanding too
Preferred Subjects: chemistry, physics, maths, further maths
Actual Subjects: chemistry, biology, physics
Comments: fell asleep in my maths exam so didn't do very well :L biology is a pile of ****

Preferred Subjects: Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry
Actual Subjects: Maths, Physics, Chemistry (Finished an AS in History last year, and am now attempting to kinda self-study AS Further Maths - sometimes I can drop into the actual Further Maths class depending on my timetable and get some proper teaching)
Comments: I got a good grade in History, but it was definitely a distraction - if I'd had pure mathy/sciency subjects to focus on, I bet I'd have got a better grade in them. Also, I really regret not taking Further Maths because it's so useful for Physics at university. I wish somebody had informed me better
