    The video is about how to choose your A levels subjects, and things to consider when deciding what to take! This is NOT an easy decision (at least, wasn't for me...!) and I think it's important to realise why you're taking the subjects that you want to ;)
    Lotsa love and GOOD LUCK YEAR 11s x

    I do maths physics chemistry and music. people are always like ooo that's quite an odd mix but I swear doing music as well as the sciences was the best choice I made for A level. Doing basically nothing but mathsy stuff, the relief I feel when I walk into the music room is the best part of my day. Although you still need to work hard, I get to have more fun and freedom in the subject. I swear it's the only thing keeping me sane atm 😂 and on UCAS it shows you have creativity and confidence performing n all that stuff. Why am I saying this? because if anyone here is conflicted on whether they should do arts or sciences, I say do both. I would highly recommend having at least one creative subject that you enjoy and are good at. It'll get you the grades, get you that diverse UCAS application, and mental sanity. What's not to like? There's my advice, have a good day ❤

      @yumnaismail5845 6 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      I'm in year 11 and I am equally good at the arts and the sciences, so there's no clear cut direction to go in. I'm definitely thinking of choosing biology and chemistry but for the third option I'm stuck between geography, english and maths. I do want to do an arts subject because I love a good range of subjects but I don't want it to be a wasted a level.

    • @shibsy
      @shibsy 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Yumna Ismai it shouldn't be a wasted A Level. Most uni courses require 3 A level grades, and usually only a maximum of 2 of them need to be a certain subject. That means the 3rd A level grade can be from any subject you want! All that matters is what grade you get in it. So if you think you would get a higher grade in an arts subject than you would in other subjects, then I'd recommend the arts subject. But then again you have plenty of time to think about it! Good luck in your GCSE's this year x

    i'm not sure whether this tip of mine will help others, but what i did when choosing my a-level subjects was look up the syllabus on subjects i wanted to take. i browse through the contents just to get the idea of what i'll be expecting if i were to take that subject. (e.g. do i like learning about this part? will i be able to cope with it? can i see myself furthering my studies in this subject area?) besides that, i searched for a-level textbooks at a bookstore and flipped through the contents to see whether i'll enjoy learning it. xx

    • @dominicwhitaker9598
      @dominicwhitaker9598 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I didn't do F Maths or Economics at GCSE but I did get a 9 in Maths and Physics as well as a 5 in English Lang and Lit which was enough to get me into a great school to do those subjects. I personally find that the maths is quite easy to understand it's just remembering it which is the problem as there's a lot more content to learn than in GCSE Maths.

      Aena Mustafa I do those 3 and sociology as well - I’ve been having a tough time looking at what I want to do as I love the science side of psychology, much more than the more ambiguous theories etc. I’ve been looking at medicine to go into psychiatry or going on to research in psychology but also recently found neuroscience degrees - I’m not sure about scholarships but I know they are hard to get but there’s bursaries which can help out with different parts. We have them at my sixth form for things like transport as our buses are very expensive as we are a huge school in a very rural area.

Now i am not sure what to do , i was lookig at biochemistry,pharmacy and neuroscience courses too but i just started AS so maybe i would change my ming next yr. Kinda regretting not taking maths since it seems very useful for uni options and i got kinda interested in computer science and IT related courses cuz they make alot of money lol but they require math too, thoughts? Btw for psychiatry do u have to give the UK medical entrance exam to get into a medical college and then later on specialize , how long does it take ? Do u think it pays well? What other careersor fields do u think are booming and have alot of scope? Any tips for Bio and chem AS exams? 😅😣

    • @luhenyangkun2102
      @luhenyangkun2102 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Aena Mustafa I don’t take maths and I don’t regret it - I’m not good at it and I think you can do just fine without it as long as you can apply it in subject (like chemistry, biology and psychology - which I can do). For me, year 12 so far has just been getting used to everything. I’ve barely looked at unis other than entry requirements and what A-levels they want. For most medical you need chemistry and one from maths, physics and biology from what I’ve seen. You need the MCAT and some unis want the BMAT as well. I also believe in total for a medicine degree it’s about 7 years for psychiatry. Including 5 years of university/medical school (we combine it rather than doing pre-med and then going on to medicine) and then 2 years of specialist training/interning in your chosen field. I think that you need to be more confident in your choices, getting interested in something because you think it will pay well isn’t necessarily going to make you happy. You really need to do something you love and I chose my options around that. Many people I know hate their subjects already and we’re less than 3 months into our courses. We were given a 2 week induction period as well where our teachers really gave us a taste of the subject and then we were able to change our subjects around that. Are you set on going to university outside your home country or have you been looking at home as well?

      @@luhenyangkun2102 one of my friend changed subjects and picked math instead and my mom started to say that not takin maths can be a disadvantage since alot of courses at uni require it and i have no actual plan on what to think career wise. I got a B in maths and so wasnt really planning on taking it for alevel but since everybody made it sound like its such an important subject and that we should take only the harder subjects if we wanna go to a good uni it kinda made me think twice about it . What if we change our career plans by A2 what then ? Then i started to loose interest in psycho but maybe i should just try to best grades in these subjects. I am planning on german unis but the math and language requirement put me off and maybe Canadian universities but when i started looking into things i found out about computer science and software engineering courses and i legit dont have any background on but seems interesting. Ppl say thst we should just take th3 hardest subjects cuz our parents are gonna pay for it and stuff but the education system is soo weird , we just cant have all our options open unless we take 10 alevels or something lol. I started to kinda hate my subjects too and lost focus and interest not knowing whats happening at all and kinda miserable really but dont know what to do really the whold uni thing scares me already and its only been 3 months since AS started , any tips? I take bio chem and psychology , is it bad to have one non facilitating subject? Whenever i tell ppl i take psych they think i am crazy lol and i feel like taking maths would have been a better option and unis do prefer it ,thoughts? Btw what if i change career goals or uni course idea by A2 what do i do then 😣😣 i am not sure but uni seems kinda expensive so germany was my best bet but the requirements are weird smh

    I've already started my a levels so I thought there would be no point in watching this. However, you've really comforted me with my choices. I picked Maths, History, English literature and Politics. I was, and still am, really nervous about maths. I feel like I'm not as good as everyone else in my class but as you said, it's adding diversity to my subjects. So I feel as though I have made a good choice because I like maths and hope to improve over the year x thank you jade ❤️

      I think you’ll find no matter what A-levels you take, it’s going to be a lot of work and you really need to be into the subject to fuel you through it. I do chem, bio and psychology which I’m all very much into but I still struggle with work load. Do whatever you love doing, if you love it you’ll want to do it anyhow:)

    I've already started my A-levels, so I don't quite know why I'm watching this video, haha. I do wish I'd seen it before I made my choices, though - I should have checked your channel first! I'm taking A-levels in French, English Literature, and Chemistry, and an AS level in Maths to support the Chemistry. A slightly weird combination, but I just chose the subjects I loved. I would encourage anyone who's considering mixing Arts and Science subjects to go for it, as it gives you a diverse UCAS application and can offer a reprieve from your majority category - although you should be aware the learning style is very different in these subjects.
    As always, thank you for the video! I'm an aspiring Oxbridge applicant, and would need A*, A, A for the course I want to do, and your videos really help motivate me to revise!

    Also be sure to bear in mind the jump from GCSE to A Level. History and Maths (in my experience) are a giant jump, so make sure you don't just select subjects that you are good at, make sure you'll also be ready to put in the work! If you dislike a subject now, it's probably not the best idea to do it at A Level. And if you start Year 12 and find a subject isn't for you, you can normally switch stuff around at the start of the year anyway.

    I know for a fact that I'm not going to be doing anything that relates to Physics or English Lit. As for things that I'm considering: History, Criminology and a Science/Maths A-Level. Then again, I have no idea what job I want. I don't want to mess this up, I want help and reassurance and NOBODY is talking about this. I'm stressed.

    - law is already really competitive so don't feel pressured to go for a really prestigious uni!
    - you DO NOT need a-level law! some universities prefer it but ideally go for three subjects you are GOOD at.
    - combinations! i do history, philosophy, english and physics and am planning on dropping physics next year!
    - essay subjects are god-level
    - have fun!
