Biology
Chemistry
Maths
Business
You need Bio and Chem for most pharmacy schools
Business is one of your stengths and it can act as your "Chill" subject - acts as a free A level
and Maths because you are good at it but also its seen as a good a level for accountancy
Provides you with the skills you need to do well
If you need any help with Bio Chem maths - more than happy to help if you wantany help just pm me
Good Luck

So at the start of this year i was doing Bio chem Maths and Psych
In the nicest way possible to those who do Psych
I absolutely hated it ! Ienjoyed the content but hated it maybe because of the teacher constantly putting me down
But i dropped it in the end and now i do Bio chem maths and history best choice i made
History is my " free a level" if you want to call it that
I dont need to necessarily put as much work into what i may need to for biology ( conten heavy ) or chemistry ( i have a bad teacher but also very hard compared to the likes of business for example)
Economics looks better than Business on UCAS but it depends what you think after the first lesson
See of your college will let you do 5 at the satrt and then drop out of business or economics?
