so for college, you would only be doing one course, and depending on your gcse grades will determine the level you will be able to study. The higher the level, the more in depth it becomes. For sixth form (which im currently in) you have to pick 3 a levels to do, or 4 if they will allow it and your gcses are very high, or the 4th is an AS level meaning its only 1 year. Depending on your future goal (if you have any) that should help you pick out what you would like to do.

Hope this helps, and if you need any more help just ask :smile:
