a-level choices

as we all know, results day was yesterday and i didn't do well enough in my subjects to do the a-levels i wanted to do. i originally picked maths, physics and history but i had only gotten the grades to do maths and history (i got a 7 in maths, 6 history and a 5 in physics).
i really would like to do physics as i do want to study astrophysics in university, so i was thinking to do it online but i don't know if it is worth it.

I think it depends on how you found physics to be in gcse. Some people go into physics A level and hate it, some love it, so I think if you found it easy at gcse, then there's a good chance that you'll like it at A level. On the other hand, teaching plays a big role. If you find it a bit difficult to do independent work confidently, then this might not be the best for you. I'd recommend trying to learn a bit of physics A level first, but if you find it difficult, it's probably not worth pursuing.
