school subjects and which to drop

[kaleidoscope]

I am in a bit of a fix, as at my school we take a levels and highers. i chose 4 a levels and 1 higher, cause in my naiveness i really didnt realise how much work that would mean.

now i need to drop one of these subjects because its just far far far far too much work, and i only get one free period a week, and i have no time to study and no time for my instrument lessons, and no time to practise my instruments and no time to eat/sleep...etc...

so which one to drop?!? I would like to do something along the lines of drama/arts/music/journalism/media/fashion etc when i leave school.

i am doing a levels:

classical civilisation,
music,
art,
english literature.

and higher philosophy.

i cant really drop music as i am on a music scholarship, and i cant really drop english cause you need that for most careers, and philosophy and classical civilisation are my favourite subjects, and it seems a shame not to do art as my school has the most amazing art department, with really good facilities and we do life drawing once a week, and no one ever fails art.

so you see its tricky...


so i was just wondering if anyone has any useful information/help of what to do...?

[earmuffin]

from the sounds of it, art'd be the one to go

[Lovecat]

Is there any specific course at uni or collage you want to do?

If there is, look at the requirements for that and you might find out you only need one or two grades to get in. Or they may tell you one subject you really need to take.

If all else fails drop the subject you like least.

if the a level marking people take the piss as much as the sqa then i'd say drop art.

[kaleidoscope]

i havent really looked at college/uni yet. well ive looked at a few, but i have made no descions what so ever. and all the ones i looked at will take roughly any of the subjects im doing. yeekers its so hard!

[vivouk]

Classical Civ I reckon.

[Rainbow_brite]

what school do u go to?

[Downie]

i can't think where classics would help you in a media/art future as much as the others

[Roselay]

aww dear...i say you drop classics honey. are these the subjects you are doing for 2 years? or can you take any other ones next year?

[evilheartedyou]

depending on what you're going to uni to do, drop either classics or art, if you're doing a levels I'm assuming you're in 6th year tho, so what highers have you already done?

[kaleidoscope]

nope im in 5th year, so i have done no highers just crappy standards .

im at strathallan soph. its near perth.

im more edging towards dropping clas civ at the moment, but its just theres only 3 of us in the class, so the teaching would be so good...

[evilheartedyou]

oh right, well, I'm no help I did highers in 5th then went straight to uni

well, you could drop something and then do it in 6th year?

[Loosea]

i'd drop classical civ Rosanna. but thats just my personal opinion. and then do it next year?

p.s letter soon (y)

[Misanthropy]

drop philosophy, if you really want to do it it'll probably be one of your options at uni
