Need help choosing A-levels

I know that there is a lot of these around,oh well.
I just need advise as to what combination to take.
red indicates those that I can't do.
green indicates ideal choices ( but may not get an A in maths to do FM)
physics maths and geography I definitely want to do.(teal)
grey indicates subjects that I can do if I don't get a B in maths. ( I'm struggling with this bit)
And a plan B

Physics maths and geography sound like good choices so it's your 4th your worried about?
If you can't do fm then chemistry could be a good back up but if you can't get a b in maths GCSE then I d say possibly swap maths itself as it could be difficult if you can only get a c at GCSE itself but that's something only you can really judge yourself.

I forgot to mention I need a B in maths to do physics too.
but the other subjects (grey) just don't appeal to me the way physics and maths does... so I feel stuck

I can understand your feeling. Keeping hoping for the best. Do you like sciences or just the mathematical based ones: maths and physics imparticular.

I've always sort of swayed towards the sciences and maths.

I guess see what your results are and you can always go do the science route if maths doesn't work out.

Just pray that I get a B or above in maths so that I can do that.
Physics
Maths
Chemistry
Geography

Is a nice combination, if you can't do FM.

If not the Maths Grade, then you may want rethink a direction.

Spanish? No. I guess I could swap it around. I HATE OPTION BLOCKS!

Me gustaría hacer español pero mi profesor lo arrundó (arruidó) para mí....
Psicología es muy aburrido.

You seem fine enough for Spanish

Sciences will need maths

Biology and chemistry is enough for others
