Dd started A levels in maths, physics, chemistry and biology this term, but is struggling with maths and wants to switch to something else. In spite of an A* at maths GCSE she just did rather badly at an algebra test which the school think is a reasonable predictor of an E at A level. She doesn't like maths much and only chose it as it goes with the sciences, so it seems sensible to switch imo.
So, tomorrow she is speaking with the head of sixth form about switching. She'd like to try Psychology (probably will be full already), Geography or RE instead. Can anyone offer any insight as to what any of these are like at A level, in particular how much long essay writing is involved and how enjoyable they are? What subjects do your dc enjoy most?
