Hey everyone
For A Levels I am taking:
Chemistry
Biology
Politics
Geography
Here are my GCSE targets
English: A
French: B
Geography: A
IT: A
Maths: B - an A can be achieved though, I am retaking a unit)
Music: Distinction (Equivalent of A and 2 GCSE's.)
RE: A
Science double award: A
I am sure of achieving all of them apart from French where I might get a C, and possibly RE, of getting a B.
I want to be a Doctor or a Surgeon, hence Chemistry and Biology, but Politics and Geography interest me. However, my biggest worry is not taking maths: Will I be disadvantaged by not taking maths? I could take it, but I find I struggle, even though I am getting a good grade (To be fair I am retaking the Unit 2 maths to get an A) but I just don't enjoy it and I can't see me excelling or having an interest for the next 2 years at sixth form. Should I take it despite this? I want to be a Doctor or a Surgeon, but would I be able to get into a medical school with these subjects at A level, and no maths? Plus if I don't get into a medical school or change my mind, my second interest would be law, so if I take maths, I would have my A levels based around medicine, whereas if I took 2 of both (which I am currently, Biology and Chemistry, and Politics and Geography, its even)
Also, on University websites, on offering courses, what does AAA grades at a level, or AAAB or such mean? Because the medicine course wants AAA, so does that mean they want 3 A grades at A level in Chemistry Biology and Maths? (I'm guessing maths as politics or geography aren't exactly medicine subjects)
Please help me I don't know what to do...
