To anyone on here who has done a levels and progressed onto university, how important would you say is the fourth as level that you can drop after the first year? I'm doing Biology, History and Economics which I'm all fine with and very much enjoy, but I'm also doing Psychology and it's an absolute nightmare. I thought it would be an easy fourth subject to drop after the first year (our college encourages all of us to take 4 AS levels) but I couldn't have been more wrong.

We don't have January exams anymore so all of our exams are in May/June. With economics and history we've been told we will finish all the content for the second exam by March/April and it will be non stop revision from then on. Biology will be finished by around the beginning of May. Psychology, however... we've not even finished the content for exam 1 yet. We've literally been told that we will only finish exam 2 content two days before the exam. There is just too much to learn. I can't even revise for my other three subjects either because my stupid teacher is insisting that we make revision posters for her to mark so I'm spending all my free time doing them. It's taking over everything. I was up until 3am doing them last night and I'm still nowhere near finished.

So my question is, is the fourth as level as important as my college tells me? If I were to drop psychology and just do the other three subjects, could I still go into most universities? I'm genuinely concerned that I'm going to fail my other three subjects because I'm spending so much time on psychology which I don't actually even like, 90% of it is complete nonsense. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
