i know it's quite late, but i do four a-levels and my universities only require three. in the beginning of the year, i was fairly confident in doing four a-levels and even managed to get an A in biology during my last set of mocks, but I'm really not sure now.
dropping biology would allow me to revise more for English lit, history, and Maths, and i desperately need to increase my maths grade. it would be three less exams, and technically speaking i would personally still count myself as doing 4 a-levels . on the other hand, it would be a waste of two years - even if i only took biology for self-fulfilment.
what do you think? any advice is appreciated

Depends on what course you are going to do at uni tbh - what are the entry requirements?

Drop the biology. Waste of time and not needed. I take it you’re in Y12.

In that case I say take the biology exams but don't spend much time revising. You must be almost match fit by now anyway. You will already have been entered for them so just do them. I had assumed you were in Year 12 which would be a different story. Weird to be thinking about dropping it now.

well I don’t think you would be able to quit technically speaking then :/ 13 days won’t do much - just prioritise maths in your revision and keep calm and don’t let stress get you
