Get a little help with some decisions?
Hey all,
So i'm struggling a little with what subjects to drop, which subjects to retake, and how to organise myself for the upcoming year 13.
So at GCSE I got A*, 3A, 6B.... which i thought where quite good grades!
However, For my ASs i got B,C,D,D Which was a bit of a shock, especially since I have been struggling with physics all year... and that was my C.
SO my initial plan, before results, was to continue with maths, computing, graphics, with my sights on a place in a computer science course at Uni at York or Surrey or some ABB university.
My AS B was in maths, which is great news! My Ds where in graphics and computing, which is a massive disappointment.
So now I need to decide if I have the ability to retake computing and graphics, and take and A2 in them next year (both of them are coursework heavy) without exploding internally. Or i could retake physics, take physics and computing, which would be less coursework, but since when I came out of the physics exam I had no idea what i had written or how it had went, it would be quite scary doing this.
Another thing is that I love designing and drawing, and graphics is a very enjoyable subject for me.
I cannot drop maths or computing, due to wanting a future in computer science. So I don't know whether to drop physics or graphics.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks
George

Physics is actually considered more important than Computing for many Computer Science courses. I would advise you to drop the Graphics and continue with Maths, Physics and Computing, resitting a Computing exam or some coursework to try and bring your grade up to a B by the end of A levels. However, if you absolutely detest Physics and don't think you can continue with it, email the uninversities you're interested in and ask if they would accept you with just AS Physics.
