My daughter got a mixture of 6s and 7s in her GCSEs which we were delighted by as she feared she had failed a couple of them. Her current choices for A level are Eng Lit, Politics and Psychology. However, she only got a 6 in Eng Lit which upset her as she was predicted a 7 and hoped for an 8. She has mild to moderate dyslexia. She is now considering dropping English and doing 3 out of Politics, Psychology, Business Studies and Sociology. She doesn't know what she wants to do later in life. Friends of mine whose children have got 8s and 9s have said that the leap from GCSE to A level is huge so I hope it's not going to be too much of a struggle for her. I'm now talking to friends who are suggesting backup plans - why we didn't look into this in more detail before I don't know. Some have talked about combining say 2 A levels with a BTec. I just wondered what the experience of your children was if they got 6s and 7s - how did they find the A level workload? Also, any thoughts on Politics, Psychology, Business Studies and Sociology - would any 3 of them be a good combination? Thanks.
