Hi, DD has just finished mocks and has had 3 offers from 6th forms in our area.
Her top choice subjects are - Psychology, English Lit and Philosophy, 4th was Biology and 5th Sociology.

The 6th form she really wants to attend (the best in the area) is oversubscribed for English Lit so has offered Philosophy, Psychology and Sociology.

her 2nd place 6th form has offered English Lit, Psychology and Biology. (They’ve recently stopped offering Philosophy)

Her 3rd choice has offered English Lit, Psychology and Philosophy.

Her 1st choice 6th form really is the best around, it’s very well known and has a wonderful reputation. Her 2nd choice is the 6th form connected to the school she is at now. Had a recent Ofsted which was Outstanding.

Psychology is her passion.
Her recent mock results were -
Psychology- 9
Maths -8
English Lit/Lang - 9
MO - 9
All science subjects - 8

What would you suggest?

Thankyou.

@Okayornot thank you for your reply.

She wants to do psychology at uni. She’s interested in the educational/behavioural side of Psychology.

She'll need two sciences at A-level to have a wide choice of uni options for psychology. Normally people do a Psychology BSc and then specialise. I know her goal may change, but it seems a shame to start A-levels that will seriously limit her uni options.

Due to this I'd go for option 2 or see if option 1 will swap in biology.
