HELP!! what subjects should I choose!!!

So originally I wanted to take Advanced higher chemistry, biology and French. BUT. my school won't allow me to do advanced higher French as it clashes with chemistry.

So my options are advanced higher maths, Crash higher psychology, crash higher RMPS or crash geography.

I am currently doing math, English, French, chemistry and biology higher and I am pretty sound in them.

Lots of people have told me advanced higher maths is bad and it's hard to get a B. But also for higher psychology I need to go to college for that separately and apparently that is also difficult. Higher RMPS is all essays which im not sure.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE any advice appreciated! Especially if you have done any of the subjects above.

I wanna do medicine so I need BBB advanced higher or BB advanced higher and A in crash higher.

ALSO do we have to do a crash higher for medicine or can we do a higher in a subject we did at national 5?

THANK YOU MERCI!

Hi, what universities do you want to apply to? Do what you like - but Edi and Glasgow both have the same entry requirements - AAAAB by end of S5 and BB at Advanced Higher in S6. Meaning, you won't actually need to crash a higher, you could just pick up another 2 highers rather than force yourself to take something you wouldn't really enjoy/have to travel for/unsure about

Higher psychology is a super easy A with a fun assignment, I did it in school but i have friends who did it online and still did well.

Hi I’m in s5 currently thinking of doing medicine. I applied to higher psychology as a back up subject. I think it is best to do the subjects you know you can get Bs in as all medical schools care about is highers in the required subject. You can even do no sciences at advanced higher and still get medical school although I think it is best to stick to related subjects.
