DD is in Year 12 and has just finished her AS exams. She's taking Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Psychology and feels that she's doing equally well in all of them. However, the subject that she is excelling in and enjoys the most is Psychology. Her school says that she should drop one subject for A2 but the problem for her is choosing which one should go, especially as she does not know what she wants to study at Uni (although considering Law at the moment). DD believes that Psychology is not a respected A level and that it will limit her options as the other subjects fit better together.
My advice to her has been to take the subjects she enjoys the most and finds she copes with the best. I also said that the AS results may focus her mind. But she feels that results wise they will all be pretty similar and says she enjoys all of them.
Just wondered whether anyone has any advice that could help her decide whether to drop one subject in favour of Psychology. TIA.
