a-level subject choosing

so, im going to pick 4 alevels and drop 1 but im thinking of studying psychology but looking at ucl psych requirements they req math/chem/bio on top of psych but i hate all those subjects. im thinking of doing psych, geo, eng, business n dropping one but idk what degree this will lead to in university. any advice?
Why are you taking 4 and then dropping 1, as opposed to just doing 3 from the get-go?

Maybe they mean 3 a levels and 1 AS?

I took 4 as i wasn't sure which I wanted to do and its good to test out 4 if your stuck and don't know what to choose. For example my friend took 4 was leaning towards dropping psychology and dropped maths as she hated the lessons. I also took 4 and switched Spanish for further maths as it wasn't what i expected. Taking 4 and dropping one is a perfectly valid.

while UCl may not take those subjects there are other universities that will so it depends on whether UCL is an university you are sure you want to go to or whether other unis are potential possibilities
