I took a term of a level physics and it’s a big step up from gcse, manageable if you put in effort (depending on ability and enjoyment). I would recommend in your case sticking with 3 subjects though, just because none of the reasons youve stated are a case for taking physics. Firstly, doing 4 subjects is unnecessary, no uni ive seen cares if you have an as level in physics if you are applying to biosciences with 3 fitting a levels. Taking bio, chem and maths keeps your options really broad! You could go into any biology field, chem, forensic science, healthcare sciences, chem engineering or env sci at a lot of unis etc (theres so many examples for these specifically and also subjects at uni that dont require specific a levels like law). computer science doesn’t require physics a level, just maths usually so again your combo would be absolutely fine in most if not all cases. Also it’s not advisable to take a fourth subject at all, especially if it’s not for enjoyment of learning the subject which doesn’t seem to be the case for you. Hope that helps 🙂
