Hi
I'm 16 and about to start sixth form which allows you to take 3 courses, but I'm still uncertain about which A-Level courses to take.
I wish to go into medicine as a career and I'm aware how competitive it is.
The usual subjects are Biology, Chemistry and Maths as I've seen on uni requirements (2 As and an A*).
I'm totally fine with Biology and Chemistry as that would be expeted to become a doctor, but I really struggle with Maths and I'm worried that I haven't even scraped a B (or maybe even C, though maybe I'm just paranoid) in GCSE.
When I spoke to careers advisors and school tutors they said that Maths wouldn't be advised to someone with a grade lower than an A at GCSE, and that use of maths would be better.
However I've been told repeatedly that Use of Maths won't help me at all with medicine or university applications.
How am I supposed to get an A in Maths for A-Level?
Is it compulsory to take Maths to become a GP?
Thanks
