A-levels
11
I'm in year 12 and recently changed schools last minute due to some issues and am now at a school where they make you do 4 A-levels until October where you can drop one if you wish. I chose to do Maths, Economics (I would have chosen business studies since I did it at GCSE but the class was full at the time), Computer Science and Psychology (which is the one I planned to drop). However, space opened up in the business class and I was able to swap from psychology to business. I know that I definitely want to keep maths and computer science, but I'm not sure about whether I want to drop econ or business. Should I just keep both? I want to get a degree apprenticeship, otherwise I will go to a top Russell group uni. What should I do or drop?

Have you checked on a range of different Unis websites to see what the required A levels subjects are for the degree subject you want to study? And btw, there is nothing 'special' about RG Unis - its just marketing fluff.

Some require maths and I really love computer science so I want to keep those two.

Double check both unis websites and the requirements for the degree apprenticeship to see if there are any particular subject requirements for the course you are thinking of doing.
Otherwise- drop the one you enjoy the least and think you will get the lower grade in.
If you enjoy both the same and think you will get a good grade in both, then could you keep both?

So, you could keep Maths, Economics, Computer Science and Business Studies as your fourth subject since it is so easy.
