Why do so many people do this

They're the best a levels to get into those routes? Therefore, the best a levels to get into the top universities. The a levels go well together, and are all well respected too.

That, and maths is life. (Serious here - when you do maths/FM/physics maths literally becomes your life)

Why do so many people choose to do Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry at A level?

So many of the top achievers in my selective school do this and they say they want to do engineering/biochem etc

Why is this such a popular route?? Is it the money/prestige or are they actually interested in science?

At least for me, it was a combination of interest and wanting the best subjects to get into a STEM subject at university (which I wanted to do out of interest, not for the money). If I had done it purely for interest then I would probably have taken Geography or Product Design instead of Chemistry but in retrospect I'm glad I chose Chemistry - I really like it at A2.

How did you find AS? I'm thinking of doing as chem with OCR and wondering how hard it is? How hard did you find it and what grade did you get?

Thanks for the reply
