What Should I Study For My A-Levels?

Hello. I am currently in year 11 and I am trying to decide what to do for my A-levels. I am considering the following options:
English Literature, Mathematics and Physics.
Biology, Chemistry and English Literature.
Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics (preferably not but I don't mind).
Could you guys help me out please? For context in mathematics I achieve B's consistently at the moment but I'm predicted A's. In the sciences I'm a strong A/A* pupil. In English literature I achieved an A.

What sort of career are you thinking of going into?

As above, what you take should depend on what you intend to apply to at university.
Mainly, you should take whichever subjects you enjoy most and know you'll get the best grade in. If you put yourself into a subject you both don't like and you aren't the best at, you'll not do well.

I'm not sure. Teaching one of the sciences (physics mainly) and or just science related careers in general. If they don't work out then journalism or law through English literature.

I think a good combination would be Physics, Maths and English Lit. Physics and maths go hand in hand so would be useful for applying to uni. English lit would also be good to fall back on as a Plan B.

id recommend you go with English lit, maths and physics to keep your options open for pursuing physics in the future. You could swap English lit out for a different subject if you wanted but from your post im guessing you enjoy it? The only issue i can see with the maths physics English combo is that you’ll need to work really hard on maths- its not advisable to be working at anything below an A in maths at the start of the a level so if you don’t achieve an A in your GCSEs then you’ll have to do a lot of bridging work over the summer to make sure youre strong enough in maths to start the a level course. I do maths and biology for a level btw if you have any questions 🙂

Thank you very much. Would you provide me with some tips about the maths A-level? Like which topics are hardest? Please share any other comments or thoughts that you have about the maths (mainly) and biology A-level courses.

See above, i have already asked what they want to do after their a-levels.

If you wanted to teach physics then physics is a must. If you wanted to teach science in general then chemistry, physics and biology would be best.
English Literature would be good for the english side of things. How about physics, chemistry and english literature.

So far I think the topic Ive found hardest was probably transformations of functions or some of the trig or calculus content when done for the first time can be a struggle. That being said, i found it quite tricky to pick out a hardest topic because what ive found is that if i pick a couple of topics each week that stand out for me to need to work on (either got a question wrong when doing questions independently or didnt understand a type of question in class) then i can work on those topics during the week and be confident with them again. The key is practicing questions a lot and making sure you understand why the method works not just how.
My system currently for maths is that when ive learned a new topic i make some index cards with notes and a worked example where needed which i can look back on. I work on a couple of topics every week that i feel need work for whatever reason and i try to practice general questions across the course as well throughout the week where possible, even if its just for 15 minutes at a time.
I know it will vary between schools but i dont get much homework for maths. I get an assessed sheet and a DrFrost assignment every 1-3 weeks and that’s about it.
Biology is very very content heavy but absolutely fascinating (favourite subject for sure). My main bit of advice for starting a level biology would be to make resources as you go and try to learn the content from them every week rather than just a couple of weeks or whatever before your test because that’s not going to work out very well in most cases. Exam style questions really help with applying knowledge so make sure to do some of them on a regular basis. Also be prepared for a massive jump in the amount of detail you have to memorise- it’s really interesting to learn about but it’s a lot! And i get soooo much bio homework but again that’ll vary and dont let the workload put you off because i probably do a lot more than most people (i revise all the time rather just in the lead up to tests which i find really helpful but it does take a bit of dedication!) and all a levels are a lot of work which is why you have to pick what interests you!
Happy to answer any more questions if you have them 🙂

What do you want to do after your a-levels?

Thank you very much. The way you revise sounds virtually the same as mine. I would also approach maths the same as you. I really want to do a physics degree I think so working hard in maths in order to enable myself to get into a physics degree is dedication I am willing to put in. Of course I'm going to find certain topics challenging and I may only achieve a B grade but as long as I achieve a C (preferably a B) then I'm happy as I should be able to get into a physics degree with good A-levels across the board. Additionally, when it comes to maths do you think I should do anything over the summer too advance my skills before the A-levels start? Once again please share any other tips/advice you have.
