Chemistry or English literature A-Level?

hi! i take chem and i love it so much, currently in year 13. it is a detailed course, requires a lot of analytical skills and i believe a great reflection of research science as well as med. it is difficult, and takes time to understand but as long as you have the drive to keep up, you will succeed! i do edexcel chemistry, so there is a clear split between organic, physical and inorganic chemistry. organic chemistry is a beauty, you learn about identifying and synthesising compounds. inorganic teaches about the periodic table and repeated trends across periods. physical chemistry is focused on chemical bonds, routes of finding enthalpy changes, and redox reactions. because it doesnt have coursework, you will have to ensure you keep on track and focus hard on exams at the end. whatever decision you make, i know you'll shine bright and succeed! good luck )

Hey! So I do Spanish maths and English lit and I’m hoping to do maths at uni next year..
I would say English is definitely a lot harder than it was at GCSE but also a lot more enjoyable as you can actually explore what you think rather than practically copying and pasting what your teachers tell you to say. We have to study the Gothic as a genre, and then compare two specific texts for P2, which is super cool. Then P1 is a Shakespeare play and pre1900s literature or plays. I would say my fav thing is that although some of these texts have been written hundred(s) of years ago they are still so relevant and can help you understand the world today. There is some coursework that was on war poetry and another comparison about culture for us, but I don’t know for other exam boards or other options chosen.

Hiii my sister does English lit A-Level (ocr i think and it sounds kinda like this) and she says it’s pretty hard and lots of revision have you experienced the same?

Hi so my current options for A-levels are biology, psychology and English literature but I'm interesting in pursuing a future career in research science and I know that if I decide I'd like to go to med school, chemistry is mandatory. Although this isn't a forefront ideal of mine currently, I'd like to keep my options open but have heard that chemistry can be incredibly difficult. Can some people who take either English literature or chemistry alevel talk about how they find their course and what they have to do please? I'd like to decide what's worth it. Thanks! ☺️
