A level help!

HI guys,

I am starting sixth form in September and need help with choosing my A levels.

At the moment I have chosen: Maths, Physics and Biology.

I am not sure whether I should do a 4th A level, if i was to do a fourth it would be in chemistry.

Some people in my school and doing 3 subjects for A level and an EPQ.

What would you recommend?
If i were to take 4, i would probably drop one of the subjects at the end of the year, I am just concerened about the amount of work from each subject.

Do the fourth A level instead of EPQ, it gives you more flexibility in A2 incase you hate one of your subjects, you can't really predict this. Everyone at my sixth form did four A levels, it's not that much work. :biggrin: EPQ was more hassle than it was worth, Uni's don't include it in there offers, it only adds some academic bonus if you wanted to do medicine.
