I'm in a bit of a predicament and would like a bit of advice. For my AS results I achieved the following:
General Studies - A
Geography - A
Physics - B
Maths - C
Computing - C
I plan on studying either computer science (or some computing related course), or aerospace engineering at university. I'm definitely doing maths and physics as they are important for the courses. I'm planning on dropping one subject as I only need three for the university courses and would allow me to focus on them more. The problem is which subject to drop, and is between Geography and Computing.
I achieved a higher grade in Geography and the teachers are much better, so I believe that I would be able to achieve a higher grade in Geography, as I find it easier. I wouldn't have to resit any Geography exams.
Computing is more relevant to the courses I want to study at university however, and I enjoy it more. However I'd have to resit a unit to bring my grade up, plus I would have to put in a lot more work since the teacher isn't great, just to bring my grade up to the same level as Geography. Even then, I would only have one resit (as there are no Jan exams), and so it's a risk taking it, in case I mess up in the exam again.
As I understand, you only put down 3 complete AS grades on the UCAS form, so my question is, what would be better, a higher grade or a more relevant subject (with a lower grade potentially)? I'd like to play it safe and take Geography but I enjoy computing more.
Thanks in advance.
