I cant pick what A-Levels/College Course to do help!!

Those who do BTEC are not stupid - ik someone who does BTEC applied sci and math, she is rlly clever (9s in both math and cs), and a BTEC business + Math student who is smart as well (9 in math, i believe, or an 8)
You should check ur sixth form requirements for biochem a levels, and then the btec, then think about which one is more realistic for you to get into. If the requirement is a 7 for biochem a levels, and a 4 in btecs, and predicted a 5, then its more realistic to get 4s rather 7s. yes, you might also get 7s, but what if you dont?

Hi, I’d really appreciate someones advice on how and what to pick for A-Levels/College.
I want to be a midwife/nurse and was thinking of doing T-Level health or Health and Social care Level 3, but the travel is inconvenient and expensive. So I’ve been thinking of staying at my secondary schools sixth form.
Im predicted 5s in maths and science at the moment, and I dont want to be over ambitious by choosing Biology and chem at A-Level incase I mess up and cant get in. I was thinking of Health and Social care, Btec science and something else.
I know this sounds daft but these subjects have an image of being for ‘stupid’ people (no offense to anyone obv) and I dont want to be labelled as such. And if I do pick these, what third subject should I do? Or should I throw myself in the deep end and do biology and chem? Thanks!

My cousin is going into nursing and did btec health and social care and sociology i think 🙂 something like psychology would also be good if you can get the grades for it. Chem and bio usually require higher than 5s in maths and science subjects so you might be more suited to doing the btecs and then sociology or psychology if either of those subjects interest you

Most universities require either human biology or biology at a level to do midwifery or nursing but some health and social BTEC is enough. It’s worth looking at the university requirements before making any rash decisions. Also certain school offer different requirements, like usually if they offer a lower requirement than usual for a stem subject like biology or chemistry then tbh the school ain’t that good. For example I got a 5 in biology but I still got to study it at a level but my school wasn’t the best. Most schools require 6’s and mostly 7’s to do those stem subjects. If there is an easier route like BTECS like you said, also check them and if you get labelled ‘stupid’ then so be it because at the end it’s not going to matter if you get to the place you want to be! But again, I would check the grade requirements for different universities and colleges. If you want to stay in your school and it’s good for stem subjects then because you already went there you have an advantage so they might let you in to study that subject on a slightly lower grade, but that all depends. Hope this helps and makes sense, if not ask questions I’ll be happy to help. This is coming from a student midwife

Im applying to child nursing 2025 entry and im doing alevel psychology, geography and philosophy & ethics. I was an internal student but enrolled at my sixth form late because i was out of the country so i initially wanted to do alevel biology, psychology and maths but biology and maths were already full. If you know that you want to do midwifery/nursing i think doing alevel psychology, sociology and btec health and social care will do just fine! Or if your college provides btec national extended diploma lvl 3 then do that (i wish my sixth form had that option, it wouldve made life so much more easier)

A BTEC was going to be a more direct and easier way so to say.edoecially for someone who gets academic frustration. I did both Alevels and BTEC and did well though If you feel you have the capacity and handle the pressure and demand and frustrations that come with Alevel pure sciences I say go for it Biology and Chemistry ad well as Maths are basically rather main focus Alevels you need .BTEC though would have given tou a more practical source .I'm guessing you're about 16..I'm 18 but I can tell you sometimes in life it's not about what people class as intelligent or acceptable...its about if it will get you where you want to be and that's Midwifery So if uou are certain about Midwifery health and social was your ticket but if you're not so sure about your choice tmfo Alevels to broaden your choices so they are unlimited
