Do you know what you'd like to do after a levels? eg uni/an apprenticeship?

If you have ideas of a specific subject, have a look at what different unis may require or what subjects are valued by universities!

Right, I had to read that thrice because of the lack of punctuation. Please could you proof-read before you submit a message next time?

From what I gather, you are hoping to take biology and psychology. You are confused about your third option. You are correct in thinking that biology and psychology are content heavy A-Levels.

Two questions:
Do you have some sort of career in mind?
What makes you think you can’t handle another science/math A-Level?

if you want to cover all bases you could try an alternative essay based subject such as Politics or Religious Studies/Philosophy

Not all universities will consider psychology as a science! Lots of psychology courses will, but it's worth checking with the university itself.

If you have other options, consider what you've enjoyed/are good at at GCSE, or anything which might be helpful for your degree!

well okay but it is not by force you had to read my question to be honest. I said what career in another reply so check if you want to see and I would rather take on a subjects which is easier to manage so I can get a good rather than a subject I can't and get a bad grade
