the a-levels im definitely applying for are:

Art
Ict
Mathematics

i need one more... the other things i would do are:
Media studies.
Human Biology
Chemistry (least likely)

what do you think i should choose as 4th? is anyone taking any of the three im considering?

thanks...

Media studies.

cuz i hate blood and guts, and i'd probualy blow up the chem lab

but thats just my opinion

media studies is very general..

But iv been told employers like scince because science teaches you alot of skill and methods...

or something..

IMO i would go for Media studies

I'd do something Science, I'd say it could probably take you further. It's funny, was talking about it with my teacher today, and getting A-Levels in Maths and a Science can take you a very long way, so I'd choose Biology...

It all depends on what you have in mind for your career. You shouldn't just choose a subject because people recommend it.

IMO Media Studies isn't a great A level to take because it isn't really that useful, unless you're thinking of going into that area of study later in life.

You're taking Mathematics, so you could consider taking Further Mathematics. I'm doing further maths and i warn you that it is hard, but i want to do an area of maths at university so its really good for me.

Out of the ones you've suggested, I would take chemistry, but again it depends on what you're good at and what will be most useful.

Have you spoken to your school careers advisor or companies like Connexions; these can usually offer the most constructive advice.

Although mine was not too good lol, and i totally went against her

Chemistry all the way! I love blowing up stuff so I'd pick chemistry

chemistry !
i love mixing things we are not supposed to..
once it gave off some toxic thing that wouldnt let you smell for a while.. and  an  instant headache...

If you're planning on going to university... just take a look at the requirements of the courses you would like to go to at the universities you like... when applying for a job, they will not even bother to look at what A Levels you have if you go to university..

If the courses you like do not have any specific requirements, you should just choose the one that you think you will enjoy the most. You will certainly learn more if you enjoy the subject.

The last point i'll make is.. don't stress too much.. it may seem like a huge choice to you now... but in the end, it doesn't matter too much what you choose at this stage. just make sure you do well in whatever you choose to get you through to the next stage with ease.


btw...nice choices so far

Out of the three, I would pick Biology. It will definitely further your options when it comes to choosing a university. I wouldn't choose media simply for the fact that you already have an arty subject with art, and universities may not look on it particularly well having two. And considering ICT is indifferent with many universities, I would definitely choose the more academic subject.
