ds1 is making A level choices. He's veering towards physics, chemistry, maths and further maths. (Predicted A* in all at GCSE.)
I'm dubious about the FM:
- I don't think he's passionate about Maths, in the way he is about physics and chem.
- One of his reasons is someone's told him M+FM is a lighter option than a 3rd science. I don't think this is correct.
- I did O Level Maths early and up to that point always found maths easy (as he does). But A Level was a bugger and I had to work very very hard.
- I think dropping biology will limit his options more (pharmacy, medical science, etc)
