should i do sociology or re a level?

i’m in y11 picking my alevel subjects! the other ones i’m doing are english and history

we have to do re gcse at my school and i love it it’s so easy and i get 9 every time

however my school doesn’t offer sociology gcse so i’ve never done it but it seems soooo interesting and i’d love to try itt

is both a suicide wish? (4 writing alevels yikes)

anyone who does either/both of these, advice would be seriously appreciated thank you :smile: <33
I wouldn't recommend doing 4 A-levels as it is not required by any university - they only require 3 A-levels. I do RS A-level and I absolutely love it. When I was in your position two years ago I was stuck between sociology and RS, and I decided on RS but I can't actually remember why I picked it over sociology. I do know that they complement each other very will, so that is definitely something to consider.

if your school does OCR RE I would recommend looking at the specification and previous questions as its not as easy. The subject definitely has its ups and downs and needs loads of attention.

I also do Sociology and its a good subject but you might feel overwhelmed doing so many essay based subjects

I do OCR RS and I really like the course, but it definitely doesn't appeal to a lot of people just on the basis that all of the questions are 40 mark essays.
