Should I "give up" on a course?

Hey,

Okay firstly, maybe "give up" was a bit of an exaggeration. Anyway, so I'm hoping to go to the Uni of Leeds in September. I'm doing the Access to Leeds programme, so the offer is actually pretty nice; BBB.
In AS I got BBBCD, which is nothing amazing, but decent I think. In a weird last minute panic, I dropped the subject I got a C in (History) and carried on the one I got a D in (Biology), so I'm carrying on BBB (English Literature, Politics, and Citizenship) and the D in Biology, as well as doing AS and A2 General Studies this year (I go to one of those sixth forms that forces everyone to do General Studies). So all in all, I'll be getting 5 A Level results this year.
For Politics, Uni of Leeds accept BOTH Citizenship and G.S. as part of the offer! Which is pretty nice.
Which brings me to my point, so I'm on a D in Biology (I missed out on a C by a couple of marks...) BUT I'm finding A2 Biology ridiculously difficult! There's no way I'm gonna get a B, I'm praying I scrape a C. So if I'm never going to get a B in it for it form part of my offer, should I neglect it a bit? But then I might end up getting like a D or E... which will stay with my for life? My Sixth Form say employers will check A Level results... so could that one bad A Level result in Biology (if I neglect it) go against me for the rest of my life, despite the rest of my A2 results being A's/B's? Or are my sixth form just massively over exaggerating?

So... what's your advice?
I'm sorry this has to turned into a massive ramble, sorry if it's hard to follow!
Thanks

Is there a reason you're essentially doing 5 A-levels? That is a lot more than usual, and it might mean you're not performing at your full potential. I think your college have given you pretty bad advise encouraging you to carry on with so many subjects. In your shoes, getting BBB is the most important thing, so focus on achieving this.

Employers can check your A-level results- they may ask to see exam certificates. However, a D in a subject unrelated to the job isn't going to put them off you. Also, the further along in life you get, the less people care about your exam results, and the more they care about your work experience.

If you're really struggling with biology, have you considered withdrawing from the exam?

Well, I have my 3 standard A Levels (Biology, Politics, & English) and then Citizenship is only one lesson a week, it's basically a cheat A Level because a lot of the content I already know from AS Politics. And then of course General Studies doesn't have any lessons.
I did ask them if I could drop Biology AND History for A2, and they said nope, one or the other, because "you wouldn't have enough hours on your timetable", a stupid reason I know... but it's not that bad really.
At this point in the year, I might as well do the Biology exams, we've finished all the course content now, so.
Thanks for your information on job prospects! That's good to know. And yes you're right, the most important thing is BBB. I guess I'll still put effort into Biology, but not go crazy or anything.
Thanks for your help!
