A levels, is 4 too many?

My child is going into year 11 but is starting to think about A-Levels.

He has mock results of 7,8,9 accross the board so is an intelligent and capable lad.

He wants to do a levels in geography, history, maths and biology.

Is 4 too many, especially with the heavy subjects he wants to do or should he be capable with those mock grades?

The best advice is to go with the subjects they enjoy and are good at. Could also do core maths to complement geography and biology instead of A level maths.

All of my 3 are doing 4. It’s just what they do at the school. 🤷‍♀️

The IB kids have a much higher workload than 4 A levels. It’s all relative I suppose.
