(Sorry if I sound like a person with a high ego! I just need to get my point across)
I'm not talking about workwise and time and not having time for work experience etc etc.
And I know studying 4 wouldn't give me any advantage etc etc.
As the system for A levels has changed. I chose Chemistry, Biology, English Literature and Spanish.
Before I continue...
No. Maths isn't required, don't mention it.
No. I haven't chosen 4 to look all flashy.
So in the new system my subject choices are all "linear", so I can't drop any of them. I still have time to change but they are my definite choices.
Let me put it into a scenario as to why I'm choosing 4:
Let's say a student does well in work experience, interview, entry exams, etc etc, but all they have to do is meet the requirements of AAA.
And let's say the student does get AA from chemistry and biology and then a C or B or something for english lit...BUT get's an A for spanish and they think "whew! almost lost my place".
You may think, why don't you just study spanish, chemistry and biology? Well, I absolutely adore english literature, and I enjoy spanish, but I know spanish is my strongest subject so I'm confident by working hard and practising I'll be okay (that's why I also chose it as it would be sort of my "soft" subject). You probably think "pfft, she hasn't even started a levels yet, can't underestimate an A level". But I am familiar with language a levels I even tried it out this year(spanish) but stopped cos I thought it would be better to do in college, and I'm doing the french one this year.
Anyway, now that the details are covered, I was checking out some uni websites but some were saying they want an AS level as the fourth instead but they weren't clear, and I'm not sure if the websites are updated because most a levels are going to be linear so you can't drop them and gain an AS qualification? That only applies to certain subjects?
Thanks
