What to pick for A levels

Hi, I’m in year 10 and I’m doing my mocks right now so obviously year 11 isn’t that far but I’m think about what to pick for A levels early.
I want to become a doctor obstetrician so I wanted to ask if I pick biology, chemistry and art will that lead me to the medical field to become an obstetrician, because I’m very bad at maths and can not pick maths.
Also what grade should I get to be able to pick biology, chemistry and art.
Thanks

You can definitely get into medicine with those subjects. Make sure you do work experience relating to medicine to strengthen your application when the time comes.

At GCSE, you would need to check with prospective sixth forms you might go to. For example, my sixth form required a 6 in the science in question, a 7 in another science and a 6 in maths. Yours might be different so I wouldn’t know. But at A-Level, you need to get at least AAA but A*AA will give you more places you can apply to.

It depends on the entry requirements for the sixth form or colleges you apply to but for Biology and Chemistry you would need a 6 or 7 (although it is different if you do combined science). You should look at entry requirements for medicine as you may be required to take 3 sciences (either Physics or Maths) as well.

It’s great to hear I’m able to get into medicines with those subjects but i don’t really know how to look for good six forms (in Cambridge) and their requirements because I need one that’s okay with a low grade for maths (maybe like a pass) also maybe chemistry but if it not the case for chemistry it’s fine, my main problem is maths so do you have suggestions or something?
And btw what six form did you go to if you don’t mind me asking. thanks!

I did look at the requirements for medicine, commonly you need biology, chemistry, physics and maths but it depends where you go because some don’t need physics or maths.

Id double check unis requirements to see what they say about subject choices.
You have the 2 sciences though so you should be ok. But check a few just to be sure.
If you arent good at maths, how about physics?

Only Cambridge require Biology, Chemistry and Maths. All the others just require Biology and Chemistry and another subject. Some say you need just chemistry with a science based subject or biology and a science based subject but doing biology and chemistry give you an all access pass to almost every medical school.

Really? That’s good, But I just checked some unis and almost need maths 😢

I think you might be confusing yourself here. Only Cambridge require 3 science A levels. Most unis require Chemistry. Lots will say chemistry and one other science. By this they usually mean either bio, physics or maths. The third can be whatever you like.

So taking chemistry and biology fulfils the two sciences. Your third can be art. No unis require maths for medicine in the UK

haven't read the otherw yet, but for reference I took bio geography and PE and landed an offer to study medicine next year so as long as you have bio or chem you should be fine.
