they do not care as long as u have bio and chem. most ppl take maths as a third so they may expect that from you?? fourth is kind of up to you i know loads of ppl take psych or economics or anything rly hope that helps x

Good morning,

Maths, Biology and Chemistry are a typical A-Level combination, so I would definitely recommend this combo! 3 A-Levels are acceptable, and you do not necessarily need a fourth. Remember, quality over quantity. AAA is better than AABB.

I’m doing bio chem maths and fm but dk if I should drop fm. Personally I would like to do it but I’m afraid that it would be too much work as I also need to do ucat. Does Oxbridge prefer A*A*A* or A*A*A*A? I’m not saying I’ll achieve these grades but just wanna know out of curiosity.
