What is better 3 AS levels or 4?

I'm currently doing biology, maths and chemistry at AS. However, I was thinking of doing further maths as an AS too. I already know half the course so I think it would be okay. What do you think? 4 AS levels or 3 ?

I dropped my fourth AS (English Lit) today, but don't let that put you off doing another one!

You by no means need a fourth one to get into most unis, and the 3 you're doing already are quite tough ones! That said, if you feel you're up to the challenge then go for it!

The vast majority of people do 4 AS levels and finish 3 as A-levels.

It's the best way, because if you decide that Biology or Chemistry isn't for you after the first year, then you've got more options :h: I know people that wanted to do nothing other than biology, but ended up dropping that over their 'reserve subject'.

Ah, I see. In which case, if you're sure that you just want to do those, there isn't a lot of point piling on any additional pressure...

Depends whether you think you can take it :h:

On the one hand, a FM AS level would look very good on an application, but on the other, AAA looks much better than ABBB (for example)...
