A/AS level choices help!?

[Libby882]

In a few weeks I will have to choose what A/AS levels I want to take after leaving school. I am currently studying the following GCSE's:
Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, English, English Lit, Welsh, RS, Geography, History and PE. I am predicted A/A* in all of them.

I'm definitely going to do Biology and Chemistry AS level, but for the other two I could take:
Physics + Maths
Physics + Psychology
Physics + History
Physics + Geography
Maths + Psychology
Maths + History
Maths + Geography
I'm worried that the first option would be very difficult but (in some ways unfortunately) I am equally good at nearly all of these subjects.

Please could I have your opinions on what AS levels to take to go into medicine, in the long term I am interested in psychiatry so I think psychology would be useful?
Also would I need to continue all four AS levels to A level or would it be okay to drop one?
All help is greatly appreciated!

I went for as in maths,physics,chemistry and biology(but dropped out due to financial,health reasons and also cus i found it difficult). I wud say follow whichever ones from the list you're interested in.I did a level in history and got a horrible grade e despite getting 3bs in the seperate sciences at gcse and a's in maths and english.I wudnt advise history if youre a more scientific person.But yeh i suppose everyones got different abilities.Psychology is not neccessary for medical application. Yeh after the first year you can drop a subject. You only need 4as+3a2 for medicine.Wish you gud luck with ur gcse results

Thanks very much for the advice, I think I'm going to to Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Geography now

I would advocate choosing the bare minimum of subjects you need for your choices of medical school; such as the obligatory chemistry + biology and then choosing the easiest other subjects for you (Back in the day, I did geography and philosophy!) at AS and then A2. Work hard on Chemistry and Biology to ensure your grades - and you'll have to do less work for the 3rd A2. Don't do 'further maths and physics' because you consider them loosely scientific and it 'looks good on a CV' - what looks bad is not getting you grades in the obligatory subjects when you have spread yourself too thin over a number of hard subjects. What looks good is meeting the conditions of your offer...

We see it year after year - make it easy for yourself!
