Psychology or economics 4th A level

A fourth A level I think is always very extreme, especially with bio chem and maths, I do these three and currently it is a lot of work but manageable, I know most people doing four a levels at my sixth form have dropped the forth unless its further maths, to maximise their grades. However if you're sure it's right for you obviously go ahead! psychology you might find easier to manage the workload as it will have lots of links to biology content and if you find it interesting it would definitely help you keep motivated, so I would perhaps go for that one. Do you need economics a level to study finance?

For EPQ you shouldn't be doing 4 a-level subjects, only 3. Taking bio chem and maths is a great combo already, and if you want to do medicine/psychology then do EPQ alongside those 3 subjects; psychology is too specific as a subject and bio and chem pretty much covers what you need to do medicine at uni, and econ for backup finance is great however seeing as 3 of your subjects are already medicine-heavy, if I were you I won't go into too much trouble for picking an essay-based subject that can't complement your other 3 subjects. EPQ from my understanding would be really helpful for especially psychology, as it gives you research and other skills to implement in university and jobs, so it's helpful from that point of view. Hope that helps!

Do you have to take 4 a levels?
Doing 4 a levels plus EPQ is the workload of 5 a levels and then you have to do your med application stuff (ucat prep, get high grades, volunteering, work experience etc), its really not worth it unless your school makes it compulsory. Econ isnt needed for going into finance, further maths would increase your options in this field and is more suitable to be taken as a 4th subject. If you enjoy psych then you can take that if you need to do a fourth subject or aren’t sure about one of the other 3. Chem and maths are both tricky subjects and bio and psych are both content heavy, you dont want to take on too much!

This is so helpful, thank you! How are you finding bio chem and maths and do you have any tips for them?

I am currently in year 11 and
predicted 99999998888. For a level i'm planning on doing biology, chemistry, maths, and either psychology or economics + an epq. I hope to study medicine in the future and I am very interested in psychology and I feel like it links to medicine and compliments my other subjects well. However, I'm thinking of taking economics incase I change my mind and want to go into finance instead. Do i take psychology or economics as my fourth a level?
