i think you would find getting into medicine without chemistry to AS quite a problem. Could you manage one year of it? A lot of people in my chemitry class didn't do maths and have had no problem. To be honest the maths isn't hard at all. Its just using the same method in most cases. So I would do chemistry to AS otherwise you are really limited. I think it is a requirement to A2 at most with the exception of some saying taking it to AS is okay. Myabe talk to your teachers about the course and get as much help as you can throughout the year get a good textbook and you should be fine.
Good luck xxx

english literature
do you think i need to change any? i have heard that mathematics is a must but i'm not sure? any suggestions?




Most people say that it is ESSENTIAL to have maths, but it isn't it's preferred, yes, but you don't need to take it.
