Struggling to pick A levels

I am getting stressed about which a levels I should take and if I will regret not picking curtain a levels later on in life, I am thinking of taken 3 out of these 4 :
Art
Maths
Physics
Spanish
I am finding it very hard to pick one to not do and I definitely don’t want to do four as I think that would be too much of a work load. I am getting 7s in all of those subjects and a 7+ in Spanish.I really enjoy Spanish and art and I am good at maths and physics and think they would benefit me later on? Anyways I am stuck and am not too sure what to do.😅

Try to think about what paths you might want to take after A levels, and then choose your A levels such that they keep a few of these pathways open so that you can decide later which one. Any ideas on what you might want to do?

I am not too sure really maybe something down the design route? ( architectural, interior design, product design etc) but I don’t have a specific job idea.

For architecture, maths physics and art could a useful combination. Have you considered starting with all four and then dropping one later on when you know which you want to keep?

i personally think math is a must. u would need to apply it in any uni degree u wanna go into, be it design or architecture, or engineering. As for the others, are u in spain rn or planning to go to spain? if so, then u might wanna take spanish. Physics is also a really good subject to take.

Have a look at the A levels for Architecture thread. Most of 50+ courses don't have specific subject requirements (only five require maths or physics) but they do require relatively high grades. So pick the subjects that you are strongest in and enjoy to give you the best chance of achieving high grades.

Have you had a look through the specs and at some past papers to see if the courses and question styles appeal to you? Id also suggest watching some YouTube videos made by students who have done these courses so you can see their opinions. If you want to do physics and keep your options open then combine it with maths- you could do physics without maths but it would limit your options a lot more. If you’re interested in design then art could be a very good choice for you. I do maths and physics (year 12) so id be happy to try and answer questions if you have them about the courses (I’ve only done physics for a month but am familiar with the course structure and did a lot of the year 12 maths content in year 11 on fsmq so very familiar with that already)

Have you considered starting with 4 with the intention of dropping one when you work out what ones you like/don't?
