A level physics

I am very good at physics and find it very easy, even the a level stuff looks easy (watched a few vids) physics just clicks for me. however, i dont particularly enjoy it nor have a deep interest in it. some parts r super cool and interesting but A LOT is dead. i want to pursue medicine. should i take physics to not waste my natural ability or do smth like english lit that i am more passionate about. (im taking bio chem maths on top of these)

Hi @ismaelishere

I would say go with a subject that you are good at AND enjoy :smile:

If you are passionate about English literature, then I would 100% choose that. It is also very different from the other A Levels you are doing, which gives you an edge and demonstrates variety.

Good luck!

alright, thank you.

i always saw taking english lit as a sacrifice and something that would hinder me more than anything so it's nice to know that its actually a good thing to have variety. english lit is also academically recognised as rigorous and builds many analytical and critical thinking skills outside STEM.

again, thanks for your help
