Should i do biology A-level?

I applied for biology, but at one of my school choices I can’t do it anymore. I wanted to take it along with psychology and geography and in university study psychology or neuroscience.

If i don’t do biology which should i change it to but i think i prefer biology Im just worried if its too difficult.
Choose subjects over schools would be my advice especially as you need a level biology for some of the degrees you’re looking at.

There are ways of improving Biology marks and plenty of YouTube videos that explain how to tackle the exams.

hey so i do bio a level and its a very do able a level not hard or difficult at all i think people just exaggerate it because its a STEM subject

i would also advise you to take politics if your school does it as its such a great a level and it can be used in any degree and is very respected

It is a memory test plus exam technique.Just learn the content then go on YouTube and learn how to max out your marks in exam questions.
