What A-Levels do you want to take next year?

This thread is mainly for Year 10 students going to Year 11 in a few weeks.
Though it'd be nice to share what it is you are planning to take for A-Levels and what you intend to do after in Uni.

I'll start it off.

A-Levels I want to take

-History
-Psychology
-Philosophy

I intend on taking History as a degree in Queens Mary and then doing a postgraduate in Journalism to become a Journalist.

Since I'm going into year 14 I hope I'm only retaking maths and economics... if I get a B in politics ill be gutted because then ill be doing 3 a-levels, 2 would be much easier!

No other passion? What subjects do you enjoy? Their must be something other than ICT. You can get into ICT degree if you take Math and maybe Physics for A-Level

Going into year 11 too.
So far I am planing to do Biology, Chemistry and Maths. However, I may switch or add Sociology or/and Spanish. Depending on whether I still want to pursue medicine or not.

Past papers are key, as is actually understanding what you are learning. Not my advice, but from someone I know (A* Maths GCSE A* Maths A-level, Cambridge degree).

As someone who self studied a lot of her AS level in maths, the way I did it was to go through the textbook, then do a past paper, recover anything I got wrong, then do another paper, and continue that cycle until I'm getting 90% or more.

At Uni (if I ever make it) I want to study English further. I wish there was a third 'Englishy' option I could take at A level :frown:
