Bekka: I did an AS level in Religious studies during highschool and got a D which helped when gettig into uni!
Drama & Theatre studies: At college I then chose to do Drama & Theatre studies as id gotten an A in the subject at GCSE and wanted to carry it on due to loving performing.
English literature & language combined: as we already know from doing a combined degree at uni. I'm a pretty indecisive person and couldn't choose between the two and it seemed like the best of both worlds. I got an A and a B at GCSE so decided I might aswell try it that and I love reading too much.
Geography: I got a B at GCSE but I wanted to do it at a-level because I loved science but also the impact that has on people.
Fine Art: I got an A* at GCSE and I love painting as arts an escape from the other subjects. Being a practical subject rather than academic alleviates some of the pressure. Despite on going coursework.
My advice would be go with what you did good in at GCSE and you enjoy doing.
If you don't enjoy it now chances are you won't for your two years at college or sixth form. Most sixth forms allow you to change your options within the first month if you don't like some of your lessons. That's what I did. Give your subjects a chance as well at least a week or so don't call it quits too soon!
Kiana: Unfortunately I wasn't as clever as Bekka and didn't have time fo dat AS level. Here are my college options though:
English Literature: I may come across somewhat illiterate but I do actually enjoy reading, this and the fact I got a B at GCSE persuaded me to choose it a college.
Modern History: BIG MISTAKE! I really enjoyed this subject at GCSE and received a B, but it was soo much different in college, we had to learn about Britain (mainly politics) from the years 1906-1951. Personally it wasn't my speciality but I dropped it in my A2 year so it was fine.
Sociology: This was a subject that I hadn't studied before and so I chose it purely out of interest.
Media: This was my first definite option, I enjoyed this a lot in high school and therefore chose to also pursue it at a-level. I specifically enjoy how it makes you think outside the box and it relates to the music industry of which I am passionate about.
Obviously college is a big step from high school, and as expected there is a lot more added pressure with more deadlines to meet and more coursework being demanded. All I can say is don't be put off by hard work as it will pay off when you receive your results. Make your choice your own, and if you do make a mistake like Bekka said you can change your options within the first week.
