Dilemma here - I don't know if I should choose Physics or Biology for A Level. Career wise, I'd want to do medicine and become a doctor (maybe in neurology? I don't know) so biology would seem like the obvious option, but the University I want to attend says I need AAA in Maths, Chemistry, and another science (no precious then) - so I don't need Biology
My issue is, I hated GCSE Biology, besides when we did the human body. I don't think I could handle learning about plants for a year or two, especially when I doubt that would benefit me in a career in medicine? I liked GCSE Physics though, and I do enjoy maths, and I feel like it would open up more doors for me whilst also giving me a pathway to medicine. However, I did struggle a lot towards the harder content, which I would be expanding on at A Level, and they say Physics is (if not the hardest) one of the hardest A Levels. So I'm just asking, what would people feel would be a better choice? Obviously every person is different, but it'd be interesting to hear if anyone here did Physics or Biology or both at A Level and why |

A Level Physics is really hard and you might not do well. A Level Biology is much easier to get to grips with in my opinion and so even though it may be a 'bit boring' you stand a better chance of coming out with good grades in it. Personally I think Physics is really boring and Biology interesting but each to their own.

Tough one but if you want do do medicine I would say biology, that said it's easier to study a subject you enjoy even if it is the harder option

I hate science full stop but I'd probably pick Biology as I find it easier :/

I'm not the best at Science but I think Biology is so much more easier than Physics

I didn't expect so many responses in such little time thank you all. I think I will go for Biology, I think it's just hearing people say Biology is better that made me realise it's better to choose the easier yet maybe more boring Biology than risk getting a B or below in Physics
It was applying it to different situations which I hated at GCSE but I got the hang of it and my memory is great so I think Biology would be the easier choice Quote:
If enjoy both in certain aspects I guess? Thank you but you're right, I'll probably go with Biology |

Chemistry is the only tolerable science subject!

Biology is meant to be disgustingly difficult, one of my girls got an A at GCSE in it but got a U on Thursday in her AS

At my college Law, Maths and Biology are meant to be the hardest A-Levels (as talked about by students and teachers) and the ones with lower pass rates.

I wouldn't say physics is hard if you're decent at maths and can handle equations / are a logical thinker...
However, for any medical subject having biology will make your first and second year a LOT easier. So I'd go bio. |

Physics definitely won't benefit you any more than Biology would. I'd always go with Bio.

I'd go for Biology too, all the people I know who did Medicine did Biology A-Level it's definitely more useful. It is harder bc you actually have to know concepts rather than just memorize the textbook like at GCSE but all A-Levels are like that and if I managed to get an A I'm sure you can too
Also Maths A-Level is Satan's work, I only did it for AS and dropped it immediately after I got a D
