Should I Drop Chemistry A Level?

1

I'm a year 12 student taking maths, further maths, physics and chemistry and I am looking for some advice on whether I should drop chemistry. I really dislike this subject and I am getting B's/C's in my tests but I consistently get A's in my other subjects. I want to aim for the top Unis to study physics and I don't know if dropping chemistry will hurt my application. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you look at the 'entry requirements' for Physics degrees on some Uni websites, the only required subjects will be Maths and Physics. Check some course pages for what you actually need :
2025 entry - Department of Physics and Astronomy - The University of Manchester
Physics | Study at Bristol | University of Bristol
Physics and Astronomy, undergraduate courses : University of Sussex

According to what ypu told here, I would generally advice you to drop chemistry. You are struggling with the subject and you don't seem to need it for your studies.

@TypicalNerd you may have another view on it.
