Classics A level
Is Classical Civilisations seen as ‘easy’ or a weak A level? I’m hoping to do a biology uni course so am studying Biology and Chemistry but am dropping down from 4 to 3 and trying to decided whether to drop Physics (enjoy less but seems more STEM related so possibly better in career?) or Classics (enjoy a lot)

Classics is seen as a solid essay-based A level subject - certainly not a 'weak' subject.

There is nothing wrong with classics.
As long as you have the required subjects for what you want to do at uni (i.e. biology and chemistry) then your 3rd subject is up to you.
Pick the one that you will like best and do the best in.
Classic is a solid subject and according to your career plans, it is more or lesser useful for your studies.

In all honesty A LOT of unis don't even CONSIDER classics or critical thinking to be valid A-levels, like, A LOT of unis, just wanted to put that out there
All about A level Classical Civilisation - Classical Civilisation A level info
Critical Thinking and General Studies are not considered by Unis - but these subjects were scrapped in 2015.

@_mangosmoothie_ ; I do classics and I've gotten 5/5 offers from Russell Group Unis, so I don't know what you mean when you say it's not a valid A-Level?
I got it mixed up w critical thinking, hence why I deleted my post
