I require assistance with my subjects

Greetings and salutations,

I've recently enrolled into three A-levels, Law, finance, and Philosophy. I would like to know if these options are in particular any good, and what career paths can I persuade with such subjects.
Would it be a better option for me to change philosophy for government and politics, if so how will this be benefitial to me.

Thank you, in advance.

(SIDENOTE; DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WASTE TIME! I had previously wanted to get into medicine, however with C's in my sciences, I am unable to do so, that said I would like to resit most of my GCSE's to push them to A*'s, how may I do this? Do you have any suggestions? Thank you once again!)

You have one weak subject - Finance - and one that isnt rated very highly, even for Law degrees - Law. Think carefully - would you be better doing a more robust academic subject like Politics or English, or if you prefer vocational subjects, an 'applied' qualification like a BTEC?

Ultimately, your choice depends on what YOU enjoy and what YOU want to do with your life. Remember that you do not have to rush to Uni straight from school - so take some time to think out what you actually enjoy and the sort of area you want to work in.

I agree with what @returnmigrant said, just wanted to add one more thing. Aside from English Language and Maths (In the case you got worse than Cs in them) I think it's a waste of time to resit GCSEs. Your A Levels are far more important in your application, instead of focusing on a bunch of GCSE retakes, spending that time revising for A Levels is much better I think

Thank you for your advice. For A-levels, I have decided to choose Chemistry, physics, biology, and maths.

Thank you! That's truly kind of you. I've decided to do the three sciences and a math for A-level.

I just finished with my AS in those 4 subjects actually, if you need advice or help I would be happy to try my best :smile:

Those are definitely great subjects that give you plenty of choices for uni, but make sure you like them since they are tough x3

I do, they're great subjects, and very intriguing if one get's in-depth with it. I definetly have a vast interest in them, specially chemistry, and biology; physics, and math, may not be enjoyable, however they have great outcomes. Thank you for your help, and I will definetly bother you when it comes near exam time. :smile:

Try and get a facilitating subject, preferably 2.

Other ones which are good include RS, Economics, Gov Pol.

Drop Law and accounting.

I did get C's in my triple sciences, however they're looking past it my English and Maths were quite strong. If I can prove my self through the A-level's I may have a chance at medicine.
