Easier A-levels

For A-level I am thinking about taking Biology and Sport Science, so I would like to take an easier subject as my third, what should I take?
sociology or media studies
No idea, what subjects do you enjoy?

Well, which subjects would you consider? No good people just saying random subjects.
whatever you do, avoid art like the plague.

subjects like art, but I don't really want to take art because I do it for GCSE and its already a lot of work.

I was thinking of doing art, but quite a few people have told me how much work it is

thank you, I was considering sociology :smile:
Sociology is useful and apparently very easy to pass

Do 3 A-levels you enjoy and can do well at.

If you like art at GCSE it's likely you will also like it at A-level. Yes there's a fair bit of "work", but it's doing something you enjoy and are good at.

Don't discount it.

ok, thank you, I haven't quite made up my mind yet
I would try to have a think about what you want to do after your A-levels first. It might be that a certain career or uni degree specifies certain subjects at A-level, so by picking "easy" A-levels, you might limit your options.

if you want to take it because you like it/it will help you then go for it but if you want to take it because you think its easy then thats a big mistake
I would 100% avoid psychology, everyone does it, loads of people regret it. It’s such hard work and there’s so much information to learn. I do drama and I think it’s quite good, there’s not too much revision involved and you’ll be alright as long as you’re good at English
