Should I drop an alevel in year 13?

Hi @ellajjaj, I did an art foundation because I didn’t do any relevant art a-levels to get me into university, from my experience they focus more on the fact that you did an art foundation than your a level results. The a-levels do still count as it all adds up to your overall UCAS points but universities favour art foundations massively. Dropping German could be an option but I would first discuss this with your art teachers and see how they think it could effect your application. It would also be worth emailing the place you want to do your art foundation at with your concerns as they will be able to give you the best and most relevant advice.
Hope this helps,

Thanks for the reply! I’ve booked a meeting with my careers advisor so I’ll see what she says, however I know my school really discourages dropping an level so I’m worried they might make it difficult for me

Im in my first term of Y13 and i take German, Art and Media, and im planning to do an art foundation course locally and then do art at uni. However at the moment i really want to focus on art and media, but i am currently really struggling in german being the worst in the class and not understanding anything. im predicted a D at the moment but im not very confident i will even get that. I feel like im wasting valuable time trying to understand the basics of the subject when i could be focusing my effort on Art and getting my B to an A. Would dropping German affect me getting into Uni when it isn't a relevant subject and im not getting good grades? and would taking an art foundation course make up in a way for doing 2 a levels?
