Understandable, I found science grim as well. What's your favourite subject?
Favourite subject so far is geography.

dont feel rushed at all - focus on those GCSEs :smile: go for something you think you would enjoy and are good at and you'll be onto a winner :smile:

Geography is a great option and you could maybe explore others - have a look around some courses available online and what they entail.

Changed my mind like 3 times from year 10 to 12 :smile:

That simplifies things then! What do you like about Geography? The sociall science aspect?

I do History, English Lit., Politics and Philosophy. If any of those appeal to your fancies I'm happy to answer any questions.
just list down some good a level subjects and what to expect from it
I do English Language, which I hated at GCSE but I got a B at AS and I'm aiming for an A* this year,I also do psychology,sociology and religious studies. It depends if you're wanting to do essay based subjects or not aswell x

I've heard it's much like GCSE. Apparently, it is also one of the most convertible subjects as well.
economics could be an option,it is similar to geography
I would say simply choose what you enjoy - as last year I was in a similar position to you. Would definitely say though make sure that if you enjoy a subject at GCSE make sure that you do your research as at A Level some subjects can be a little different - I used to love english literature but now wish I chose a different A level subject.. Also choose a wide range of subjects so that you don't close any doors when you do find something that you wish to do but other than that just pick what you think would be enjoyable and fun.
none of the a-levels are easy! Try and pick the subjects that you enjoy the most
Definatley go for geography, try not to pick subjects becuase you think they are going to be easy, none are and you will have a hard shock when you get into the subject! Business and Sociology would be good matches with Geography, maybe Economics too.
