AS/A-Level Physics or English Lit? I have no idea what to pick.

Speaking from experience I'd say do English Lit. It's better to do what you enjoy, not necessarily what you're good at. If you find yourself struggling with one of them by the end of the year or regretting your decision, then most colleges/sixth forms allow you to apply for another AS-level for year 2 (as long as you don't mind taking 3 years in college).

Congrats on finishing your exams by the way!

Okay so just today, I finished my final GCSE exam and I had a chat with my Maths teacher (who's also the Y12 head in my school) about options I applied for. She told me that because I was three of the choices were in the same block, I couldn't do Computer Science, Product Design, Maths or Film Studies (reserve) for 6th form. That was a bit upsetting given that I'd planned to do some work experience for the Design department around July time.

Now I have to decide a combination for September, that includes Comp. Sci. and Maths. However, I'm now stuck on whether I should take Physics or English Lit.

Physics is one of my favourite subjects as I get good grades in it: 7s and 8s at most. For some reason, I love working with equations, numbers and investigating the causes of physical matter. Though I'm not too into the sciencey sort of field, and wouldn't consider myself to be too nerdy 🤓.

Eng. Lit. is what I'm most passionate about, because I've always enjoyed analyses of what I want to read and watch. I've also done theatre work at school, so having Eng. Lit. will always associate me with the arts in some way. However, having the time to read is hard, since it's quite loud at home. The minimum and target grade is 8, but on the last mock it was a 6.

In the future, I see myself as a computer scientist (working towards AI), maybe a writer, but I'm not sure about physicist... Help, what is the best option?

I heard English Lit. is quite relaxating, comparing to 2 STEM A-levels. Can you speak for that? Does the enjoyment of the subject depend on how it's being taught?

Also, thanks stranger

bro idk how english literature is linked to what u wanna be though seems random. physics links to maths a level because in maths theres things about newtons laws and stuff. And if ur asked at university why u did english lit as its not linked what u gonna say. But also choose somet easy and something you enjoy
