Is doing AL chemistry A good idea if I do double science for gcses

I am doing combined science for my GCSEs and have a predicted 8-7 and I was thinking of doing biology, chemistry and maths for my a levels but I don't really like chemistry and so far feol my three sciences in gcse it is the subject I got the lowest marks. I have a 8-7 because I got good marks to a some extent in other two. So is it a good choice to take al chem. Also there's a lot of people saying it is harder in al than gcse. What do I do ? Sorry it's kinda long TT

If you’re open minded about chemistry and work hard for it, chemistry a level is so worth it and a lot of people I know enjoy it more than GCSE chem

I would say it is harder than GCSE but I enjoy AL far more than I ever did gcse
As long as you stay on top of revision (exams are mostly fact recall) there is no reason you couldn’t do alevel!
