I'm going to quote in Puddles the Monkey now so she can move your thread to the right place if it's needed. :h: :yy:

To be honest an A for Maths and BB for Double Science is an indication that you will probably struggle doing those subjects at GCE A level. Physics doesn't have as much as Maths than you probably think and the jump between GCSE to GCE A level is huge; I know people with A*A*A* in Triple Science who have struggled in GCE A level science. Some of the ones that got BB for Double Science (which isn't that impressive) or a bit better pretty much failed their exams.

Well done with those results. Those grades show you're capable so you might as well go for it. All the best.

I studied Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Psychology.
I would say the large majority of people at my school who got a B in chemstiry at GCSE and took it at AS level either dropped it before exams or got E/U because in their opinion it was the hardest A level... Physics is more forgiving however the only people in my class, including myself, were either the people who achieved A* at GCSE or worked their asses off.. Hope this helped ☺️
