Dropping Alevels

I’m doing alevel chem, biology and psychology. I really want to drop chemistry because I don’t get anything in the lessons but what can I do with just one biology alevel in the future?

What would you swap it for? There’s lot of options with biology and psych as some courses count psych as a second science. Doing maths would increase your options but if you don’t enjoy it then dont take it.

You’d need to look at entry requirements and it will vary between courses. If you have an idea of what you’d like to do at uni (or a few ideas) id suggest searching up degrees for that subject on uniguide and then looking at the requirements. They’ll state if psych is counted as a second science for that degrees entry requirements 🙂 Let me know if you have any questions and ill try my best to answer them!

Obviously it’s up to you if you drop it or not but when I just started year 12 chemistry I found it super hard and was crying after doing really badly on homework and stuff. But it genuinely does get better, it’s just a bit of a shock to the system after GCSEs.
