Aspiring detective yr 13

Hello everyone, I'd like some advice for year 13. I do a level English literature, A level law, Applied science and A level italian. I need some general advice for year 13 as I have a lot to do and I'm not sure on what to do to organise myself properly. There's a lot of content for law and English which I'm kinda struggling on. For applied science is hard to stay on top of coursework and honestly I really hate the subject. Italian I haven't really started revising as I'm doing it because it's my native language however I have to do lot of stuff for it and I think I'm just being lazy ngl. I'm basically cooked. I want to do a law degree so I'm probably gonna go through the degree route to become a police detective because I might change my mind on what to do and stuff and I want a degree to back me up. So yeah I'm very confused and also the routes to become a detective are also kinda confusing and stuff and I'm kinda behind on my work and i don't think I've properly mastered yr 12 content. So what do I do?

If you want to become a detective, criminology is a better degree to study than law. If you study law, you’ll have to study core modules outside of criminal law, such as tort, contract and land law. I know someone studying criminology who is working towards becoming a detective - personally, I think this is a wiser route. Law is also extremely competitive and oversubscribed at many universities. If you dislike applied science, can you not drop the subject? There is no benefit in doing 4 qualifications, especially since two of them are ones you are struggling in content-wise. You have the rest of the summer to revise content and start getting a plan together in terms of revision and coursework. Make a study schedule and stick to it for Year 13. Identify the areas you’re weak on in your subjects and use this time to focus on improving. This way, if these topics were to come up in your exams, you can be confident in your ability to answer related questions well.

Hii thank you for the advice. I know law is competitive and oversubscribed however I want something to fall back on if I change my mind about becoming a detective and work in a law related field. For applied science I'm not sure if my head of year will let me drop it and I'm also very scared because although I still have 3 a levels would italian be considered as an equal because technically it's my native language. Do you have any other tips foru the detective route if you don't mind asking your friend because I checked on prospectus and it says that there's extra exams to do to become a detective I believe is called the "national detective programme" or something like that plus training. I'm not really sure on what will happen after doing my degree basically because a lot of people usually go for apprenticeships etc. Thank you so much for replying though it was very helpful.

if you're only in y12, then i wouldn't worry too much because police entry routes have changed dramatically in the last 7 years out of all recognition, and will probably continue to do so. The reason the routes are confusing is because some of the decisions made a few years ago really messed up the system.

my strong advice would be to get some experience of the realities of being a police officer - especially detectives. Best way is to talk to someone who actually does the job. There is enormous turnover of detectives at the moment for two key reasons:
First, people are using it as a step to other (non-police) things. As a first job, it's not bad pay at all and future employers recognise the "brand" of the police and think they can take ex-detectives seriously.
Second, a *lot* of people join with a very wrong idea of what detectives actually do, and get disillusioned or feel that the job has been missold to them. The reality of being a new detective (and at least your first 5 years) is that you won't be solving or even investigating many crimes in any real way. Most work will be putting cases together on whatever software programme the force uses and occasionally interviewing suspects, and very occasionally going to court. When i say "putting together cases" i mean collating different bits of paper (or electronic documents) and writing about summaries of them, and sending a lot of emails.
