Hi, I would like advice please on whether or not to take a fifth A-Level subject.
I have already signed up for Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science. I'm not sure what I want to do in the future. I am mainly interested in theoretical physics and programming, but I want to keep open doors, so I am considering taking Biology.
I didn't revise much at-all for GCSEs so unfortunately I'm expecting 3/4 A*, the rest As and 1 C.
I was intending on making an Oxford application and even though I'll still apply, realistically I know I've lost my chance with the GCSE results I'm expecting. Point is, I'm lazy and therefore not sure how likely I am to keep up with 5 subjects at A-Level, especially as most who take 5 take a soft subject. However, I'm reluctant to do only 4 subjects. My mentality is that if anyone can take 5, then I can. I also have a genuine interest in Biology.
I'm willing to work harder at A-Level to pull this off, but I've read taking 5 A-Levels being warned about as difficult, and accordingly I wanted to check what other people thought to convince myself that this isn't complete folly. Advice is appreciated.
Apologies for any poor wording.
Many thanks.
