which alevels for sixth form application?

something i wish i'd known when choosing a levels is that they don't always need to go together. in truth i picked three that overlap so much that i always got confused! in an exam, i'm pretty sure i wrote about the wrong topic from a completely different subject. so please know that there is nothing wrong with clunky subjects that don't go together.

also consider which subjects require coursework. you may be a coursework person who wouldn't mind three or four a levels which contain it as well as exams- but it can get a bit much to do. all of mine were due at the same time and it was a lot of stress alongside revising for exams.

if you can't narrow down your choices, you can apply for both colleges with completely different a levels to each other. there is nothing wrong with that and it shouldn't affect your application at all. if there are two you really want to do, then go for it! remember that as stressful as a levels are, they're also meant to be fun and you're meant to love what you're doing.

it does sound to me that you're quite certain about westminister but if the subject choices are more important, like politics and psychology, you should go for the one that offers it!

thanks so much! if you don't mind, what subjects did you take?

i took law, film studies, and english language and literature! you wouldn't think there would be many overlaps- but there sure were paha. we did a whole project on coppola's dracula film in film studies and then studied the novel dracula in english.
