HELP!! What A-levels should I do? Is 4 worth it??

I've started with 4 A-Levels at my college: Biology, Physics, Mathematics, Further Maths. I'm managing these all okay at the moment but am worried that my subjects will be become to much work for me, or become really difficult later on.
I have til the 10/10/25 to decide whether I want to continue with 4. I don't know what I want to be in the future, or even anything about universities. I probably don't want to go to Oxbridge, and therefore don't need 4 A-levels.
I need help deciding. I'm thinking I will drop Further Maths, to give myself the broadest range of options for careers. I am hoping, however, to do an AS level in it next year. However, I'm worried that if I choose to go into engineering (which I think I will) that I would benefit greatly from having Further Maths. Do universities require Further Maths for engineering?
Help me decide please!

Definitely don't do four A-levels - have a think about either which one is the most stressful OR which one is the least useful for your career ideas (your choice) and drop that one. Esp as you're not going to Oxbridge, you're much more likely to get the grades you want with only 3 A-levels, and have time to spare to do other stuff too! Hope this helps

I am in year 13 and doing bio, physics, maths and FM too!
Most universities "recommend" FM in engineering. By that, they generally mean "exception if your college does not offer FM". So, to answer your question, probably.
If you really think workload is too much, you can take AS at Y12 instead (you definitely don't want to do it in Y13. Balancing mocks, admission tests, personal statements, learning new content, making more revision resources, all before mid November...)

I originally chose this combination but switched out both fm and physics lol
If you want to go into engineering then double maths and physics is the best combo. Do you have any other ideas on what you want to do?
Which subjects are you enjoying so far?
Happy to answer any questions on biology or maths especially (i only only did one term of physics)

Honestly if you want to do Engineering or anything else Maths related such as Maths; Physics; Economics; Statistics; Computer Science etc. I’d be looking to drop Biology instead, I’d keep FM. Especially if your argument for keeping biology over FM is broadness (you haven’t provided any other reason).
Is there at least a rough idea of the type of universities that you want to apply to?
Also it’s a myth that Oxbridge (or any university) for the most part requires you to have or gives you an advantage for doing 4 A-level over 3. If anything, for universities such as Imperial or Cambridge, it can in fact be a disadvantage (because I’ve seen some students receive 4 A-level offers instead of 3, with the 4 A-level offer not necessarily being more lenient than the 3 A-level one). Oxbridge or not, I’d be looking to drop that 4th A-level.

No other ideas, I'm thinking I will probably go into engineering or a maths degree. Maths is the subject I'm enjoying the most, my teachers make it really enjoyable and I just like Maths. I've change my mind since posting that and am likely going to do Physics, Maths and Further Maths now. My grades are also the best in them so far.
What made you swap them out? I'm finding biology lots of new words and difficult to follow, which makes me quite sad because I loved it at GCSE, and was so set on doing it for A-Level!

That sounds like a great plan, I wish you the best of luck with your a levels!
The volume of content in a level bio is very challenging to deal with initially, i love it though so i think its worth it to dedicate a lot of time to reviewing terms!
I decided against taking fm just before the start of year 12 because i decided to take epq instead so i could focus on a topic relating to my interests in ecology. I swapped physics for env sci because it seemed more relevant to my degree choice (biology) and i didnt find the physics course very engaging (a lot of it felt very repetitive, the practical work wasn’t my thing and my teachers didnt seem to enjoy the subject much).

Haha. I've come to a similar conclusion and am probably going to do Further Maths, Maths and Physics now.
