How hard is chemistry

Off the top of my head criminology or criminal forensic psychology could be good options for fields to look into. You’re correct that to keep options open for forensics degrees you’d ideally want to be doing chemistry but its a rough subject i am told and you might be better off taking other subjects if you’re strengths align more closely with those. There are still options at uni to study something in forensics with a level biology but it’s limited. I would suggest researching some degrees in this field and looking at some career profiles to see what interests you and aligns with your strengths. Best of luck

Do you know what criminology really is as when it’s seaeched its abut vague I was thinking of forensic psychology as well.
I’m thinking chem course is full now possibly and I so is alevel psychology ' which is fustratong think I just need to look around at all courses and options and focus on getting the highest grades I can

Hi!
I did A level chemistry and enjoyed it very much, about 1/3 of the whole spec is memorisation, so if you have a good memory that won’t be a problem. The only hard part is getting above 80% consistently as that’s usually where a B becomes an A, so a lot of further reading on chemistry may help you with the sometimes random questions you might get on elements or practicals.

Criminology is a branch of sociology which focuses on the causes of crime, behaviour of criminals etc. Basically i would describe it as studying criminals and crime through the lens of sociology.
Happy to try to help if you need any advice on picking your subjects

Thank you I’m struggling to pick mine as I have already enrolled ut you can change as long as there's space 1 picked criminology applied psychology and biology. Already know psychology is full foraleve I'm not sure about chem in dose I got 6 or B. But I just scraped it. Would you say dropping psychology for chem would be a good choice or kinda asacrificeto my Otho grades its such a hard choice when I would ♡ to visit crime scenes take prints etc but not fussed on chem

If I was in your position I would probably stick with psych to be honest but if you're set on forensics then chem is your best option.

If you don’t mind me asking what grade in gcse did you get

An 8 via AQA. That may seem like a big difference but it’s all honestly your attitude to learning. A level chemistry contains completely different specifications compared to GCSE, you may as well forget all of it (apart from the mass=mr x mol ofc)

did u do aqa at alevel

No, OCR A thankfully

is aqa chem hard bc im going to be doing it ☹️
