A levels

Anyone who started sixth form regret an a level of their's. If so what is it and why?
I'm currently regretting one of my ones : (
Would like to know so I feel like I'm not alone.

Hey, I’m kinda regretting one of my subjects too. I picked Further Maths. I genuinely enjoy it, but it’s so hard. I’ve got three new teachers and I’m still trying to adjust to their teaching styles. Plus we’re doing three topics at once with three sets of homework, so it all feels way harder than it should be.

There’s also only one other person in my class, and she’s absolutely locked in getting A’s in Year 12 somehow while I’m sitting here with a B and an E 😭 . Good for her honestly, it’s impressive, but it makes me feel like Further Maths might’ve been a mistake for me.

But from what I've been told many people go through phases of hating and then loving subjects so if you can't drop and have to stick with it you could possibly (hopefully) start liking it again?

Dww your not alone at all. I loved chemistry gcse, did the a level for a month and dropped it (I hated that half of it was organic and the other half wasn't really feeling as interesting anymore).

What one of yours are you regretting? And why?? and what subjects do you do?

I'm doing biology,chemistry and psychology.
I regret picking psychology because there is A LOT of terms and case studies which you need to memorize and essays which I'm not that strong in and I don't really enjoy them.
