I have decided to take bio and chem to progress onto either dentistry or optometry however after looking at the content I’m not sure if I will be able to do really good at them and get A/A* which is required by all uni for them courses . I’m worried about taking bio and chem and doing really bad at the end of year 12 . That would mean that I would lose a year .
I looked at dental hygiene and therapy too and u only need biology for uni . It also has a much lower requirement of ABB .
I’m really unsure on what to do . Maybe I lack confidence but any advice would be really helpful

Personally, I think one of the worst things you can do before starting an A-Level is looking at the content. You haven't learnt any of it yet, so of course, it will look difficult.
I took A-Level Chemistry. Do you have any specific questions?

I looked at paper 1 for aqa a level chemistry and as a gcse student who got grade 98 I’m not able to answer any of the questions and that has really put me of from doing chemistry .

Of course, you will not be able to answer any of the questions! You haven't started the course!

Gcse chemistry did make sense to me like organic chemistry about the hydrocarbon and fractional distillation and quantitative chemistry but I didn’t like the chemical chnages with the reactions of acids and stuff

I think you will be fine at A-Level as long as you are willing to study hard.

Don't worry, everyone has their favourite/ least favourite topics.

Are you doing biology too ? If so how are you finding it

From what I’ve heard, Biology is slightly easier than Chemistry.
Do you have any specific questions about A-Level Chemistry? E.G. the course structure, exam technique, difficulty of topics…
