Which A levels should I take?

I am in the process of choosing my A level subjects and have so far decided that I would like to study History, English Literature, Drama & Theatre Studies and either Theology, Politics or Geography.
I took Geography at GCSE and haven't found it particularly challenging but I am also interested in taking theology or politics.

Thank you :smile:

I think what you have already should be about equivalent if not more than 1 A level. I think depending on what level B tec you have it can be equivalent to even 3 A levels :smile:

Level 3 is equivalent to A Level - the Level 2 qualifications you have are equivalent to GCSE.

If you need to gain one, either do an A Level or BTEC National Award (worth an A Level), BTEC National Certificate (worth two) or a BTEC Extended Diploma (worth three).

Level 2 is equivalent to GCSEs, that person does not have any equivalent qualifications to A level.
