3 or 4 A-levels?

[Kardan]

IIRC Shaz wants to study Law at University.

I would finish the AS level first and then drop it before A2 if you're still unhappy. Even a C in an extra AS Level will help boost your overall UCAS points. I'm not sure how common this is, but I just googled a random uni (UCL) from the top 10 for law in the UK and they require "a pass in a fourth additional as level" http://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-stu...s/ubllawsing05

Those entry requirements are pretty tough.

A*AA at A-Level, E+ at AS-Level, B in GCSE English Lang and Maths, C+ in GCSE Foreign Language.

How did your college/sixth form even schedule in 6 AS Levels? We could only take a max of 5, so I took 5 AS's and it got me out of the compulsory AS Citizenship that everyone had to take

You tell me :L I didn't seem to have to go to so many lessons either...

[Kardan]

I reckon most places for Law would require A-Level grades rather than UCAS points. But as you can see, some Unis may require 3 A2's + AS.

If you settle on a Uni that needs just 3 A-Levels, I would personally drop the AS now, since it won't help if you're definitely dropping it after AS anyway.

That being said, your backup Uni might wants AS levels/UCAS points, so you still need to look into it more before you decide.

I would just look through the rankings of uni's for law and see what the required grades/points are for the ones you are interested in

Stick with all four for the remainder of your AS LEVELS but if one is becoming particularly difficult focus your efforts on your other subjects to ensure good grades in those in preparation for a2. Drop it at a2.

Kardan I was looking through my rep the other day and found a thread where I helped ur fiancée with her as English lit assignment on Wise Children by explaining (reading it back very crudely and not making much sense) what postmodernism and magic realism were. Tell her she owes me.

I did 5 AS's and it was hell I had no social life

I did english language, philosophy and ethics, sociology, media, travel & tourism and english language eurgh. I'd carry on doing 4 for AS then drop one at A2 if I were you. I came out with BCCDD so had I stopped at sixth form doing A-levels I'd have dropped the subjects I got the D's in which were philosophy & ethics and sociology
