Hi,
I'm taking PE and Psychology for my a levels but am stuck on the third option since receiving my GCSE results. My original plan was English language but after looking into the course and receiving a 6 in my GCSE I'm not sure it suits me as I really didn't enjoy the long written exam. I got a 9-8 in combined science with biology being my best science which shocked me because I only ever got 4s and 5s in biology and never expected a 9.
I know biology goes with my subjects very well as my future career plans are PE based and universities would rather have a science than English but I want to know if it would be too hard to bridge the gap having only learned two thirds of the GCSE course, then having to learn all the A level content. I have also heard that biology is a really hard A level in itself.
I'm stuck on what to do because I have never ever achieved higher than a 5 in biology and my mock result was 41%, I fear that it was a anomaly and if I did biology A level I would come out with a very low grade. Another point to make is I enjoyed revising and learning GCSE biology over my other subjects, including English. Overall, how much harder and different is the biology A level compared to biology combined science at GCSE?
