Should I continue with a level maths?

My subjects are bio chem and maths and I replaced geography with maths because I don’t know what to be in the future and maths opens up lots of options. It’s the third week since I’ve started alevels and maths was good at first and now it’s kinda a nightmare. I ask things I don’t know, go drop ins and watch math solution videos which are so so helpful! But I already feel stressed and burnt out! There’s so much I need to do for maths!!! I have done everything for bio chem but maths keeps me from having to relax and chill and breathe!!! Lessons are far too fast paced and I do 5 hours a week in lessons (2.5 hours each on Tuesdays and Thursdays and no breaks in between!!) what should I do? I considered dropping it but then I think of the other kids doing it and trying hard (which I always try hard!) and I don’t want to stop it coz I know I can do it it’s just got a lot of work and I must make sure I know something well b4 the next thing. What should I do?

Personally i think you should drop it. I got an A* in maths gcse and loved it but when i started y12 i had the same stressful thoughts as you. I ignored them and thought if i work hard enough it will get better but it hasn't. i have just started y13 maths and it has gotton even worse. It is very hard and i regret not dropping it. I would honestly do anything to go back and change my a levels. Biology and Chemistry are hard enough and by doing maths as well it is just so much more stressful. In regards to it being a "respected" a level, so are chem and bio so it really isn't worth the stress unless you want to do a course that specifically requires maths. I am applying to dentistry which wants 3 As and i wish i had chosen a different a level because i would have a better chance at getting an A. I have lot of friends who have gotten into and are applying to med/dent without maths as their third a level.

Having said this, if you really enjoy maths and want to do it then go for it because you could have better luck than me, i am advising you based on my experience.

Good luck!

Unless your university course needs A level Maths, you don't need it. It won't impress admission teams if you take Maths instead of Geography. They won't think you're smarter for taking it.

Do the subject that'll get you the best grade / the one you enjoy the most.

Again, A level Maths is only useful if you need it for your course but most courses don't need it.

And I don’t know what I want to be in the future- I chose maths coz it opens up more doors

you can easily catch up as the start lessons are quite basic. my sixth forms lets you change uptil end of oct as they dont think it will have a bad impact . Yes its draining having to do so much revision for maths. i am always stressed because you cant do enough practice and i want to do everything if that makes sense
