A-level advice

Hi guys!
I'm not really sure if the a-levels I picked were a good combo or not. I'm starting sixth form in September, and if I have to change my options, I have to change them by the end of next week.
Do you think Maths Computer Science and Psychology is a good combo or not?

If you enjoy then or will find them useful then yes it will be a good combo. There is no such thing as a perfect combo for alevels bc people strive and like different things. I took maths and computer science and they worked well, I also knew someone who did computer science and psychology and another who did maths and psychology. Many people do lots of combinations so i dont see any problem with urs.

Tysm! I've asked so many people this question on a lot of different forums and apps, but no one answered as quickly as you did. Ty!

I took FM, physics and history which is considered a very odd combination but I've faced no difficulty. The CS and maths pair go hand in hand and having psychology on the side will be a nice break from the mathematical side of things!

I think that’s a good combo each subject brings different skills - do you have any idea of what your next steps may be after sixth form??

Really nice combo! What do you want to do after alevels? If a uni degree, which one? 🙂

Ty!! I'm not entirely sure. I've been considering degree apprenticeships, but I have heard they are really competitive, so idrk

After a levels I'm thinking of doing a degree apprenticeship, but I'm not entirely sure. If I do end up going to uni, it would probably be a degree related to computer science

Okay iguu, some courses for computing at uni ask for a science such as physics, but you will be fine either way! Good luck 🙂
