A good combination of A level options?

For my A-levels I am planning to take the following subjects; Biology; Chemistry; Geography and Spanish. I was wondering if these would be a good combination of subjects to take. I don't really have an idea of what I want to do in the future yet but i am currently in year 11 and will have to be deciding my A level options in the near future.

They sound pretty good to me (being in year 12), it keeps your options open at least. You don't like 'writing' subjects (history, english)?

No, not at all. The English department in my college is awful so I haven't enjoyed it and I don't like History.

I am in y12 currently, but I am taking the wrong subjects because it was only later on through y12 that I decided what degree I wanted to do!

I want to retake the year and do biology and chemistry, and I am doing Spanish already.
Personally, I'd say they are a very nice selection, not too similar to each other and they each have their own specific ways of revision, which can be quite enjoyable at times and makes sixth form a lot less boring as well as stressful!

Biology requires a lot a reading and memorizing key facts, for chemistry I'd say to do loads of past papers and practice questions, like maths, and Spanish just revise the tenses, nice to have 1 essay based subject as well!

All in all, I think you have a great combination and should be well rounded as long as you achieve the grades you need :smile:
Sounds good to me :biggrin:
