Dropping A level

Hi guys,

I'm currently studying 4 a levels ( maths, physics , chemistry and economics) and I'm looking to drop one but not sure as to which one to drop.

Preferably I would like to drop either chemistry or physics as I don't want to being doing two sciences alongside maths and economics.

In the long run, which subject better to study, revise for , and which one is it easier to obtain a grade A or A star.

Also I was wondering how easy is it to do well in economics as essay based subjects aren't my strong point lol.

Thanks.

Honestly the ‘easiest’ are the ones you enjoy. Might sound cliche but if you hate a subject it will be so much harder to study for it. it’s important to choose subjects based on what you want to do in the future, but ensure you enjoy them, then it will be more likely to take you into a path you actually are interested in

What do you want to do with these A levels - if Uni, do you have any ideas about a likely degree subject?

In which case dropping economics would make most sense to keep both options open to you.
Are you sure you want to study those degrees given that the relevant A level subjects for both were your first options on subjects to drop at A level?

Pharmacy focuses on Chemistry - are you sure this is the right course/career for you if you are currently thinking about dropping Chem?
