It's really up to what you want to do after. I did a btec in sixform equivalent to 3 a levels and that is enough to go to my dream uni. But they do look at your maths and English language at gcse and they're pretty strict about the minimun grades needed. So, I would recommended looking at any unis you want to go to (if you want to go uni) and look at their btec requirements. My btecs were really chill and easier to get high grade than a levels imo. + it was able to get me into my dream uni so win, win for me and highly recommend taking btecs.
