what to do for A level??

Poll

which is better for A level (considering I am also picking English Lit & Maths)?

I have been thinking about what to pick for A level but am struggling between 2 options - Drama and Biology. These are two very different courses and I am unsure of which to pick for many reasons such as if I will be able to keep up, which would look better for university etc. Do you have any advice?

Maths, English Literature and Biology would be a stronger combination of subjects than Maths, English Literature and Drama, so I would recommend Biology :smile:

Pick Biology it would look much better on your Uni application than Drama. If you want to keep your options open Biology would be highly recommendable.

Drama, although it may be considered a soft subject, goes well with English Lit, so maybe go drama especially if you enjoy it more than biology
What is your prediction for bio and do you enjoy it?
Looking at your choice either would work but in terms of respective subjects id say bio would be more respected
But think about what careers interest you and what you can cope :smile:

Even I'm not finding it so hard and I got a C (bad CA and bad day the day I took the second exam) I'm sure you'll do well if u chose it
Good luck!
