Lucky you, all your wanted subjects are all in Greenwich campus. I could not do Geography because it was not offered there. IMO A-levels in the UK are much easier than Singapore A-levels, so I think you could handle Biology considering you speak English as a native language. You could try Psychology at the first few weeks if your timetable allows these 5 subjects but I believe Biology is far more respected. Do you have any plan for higher education?

Well,may be u need to study bio for to study psych.Cuz,u know psych is the study of the activities of human beings & to get it u need to study the nervous system.Such nervous system helps u to understand the human behaviour though i'm not a psych student I supposed i'd read a sort of such things in the book[psych].

Samsoonie, it looks like you know a bit about Bellerbys. Are there any better colleges for me to attend? I took A Levels in Singapore but in the wrong subject combination.

Therefore, I intend to take 5 or 6 A Level UK subjects to make up for my poor GCE O Levels (5 B3s, 1 A2, 1 C6, 1 D7) or should i retake GCE O Levels (as GCSE) before moving on to A Levels UK?

Jit92, UK A Levels are nowhere near Singapore/Hongkong A Levels. Don't worry, work hard and you'll be fine. Did you take a look at Bellerby's record?

You don't need to do biology to understand Psychology! Only a small part of Psychology is learning about the brain etc. (:

jitsu, your friendster seems to show that you're from a boys school. Let me guess, is it SJI? Anyway, according to alot of TSRers, LSE places a huge emphasis on GCSE. Hopefully it's not true. :frown:
