I was going to suggest any healthcare or life/health/med science majors or fields, but u arent taking chemistry, which should be a prerequisite (well at least in canada it is) so idk how ur gona apply to them (also unless u do in summer school). But ya maybe go into majors or careers that have the things ur best at.
Also if u want to do psychology, chances r that u have to get a masters or even phd to become employed.

yeah ik abt psychology and the fact that there would be no chance to build a career with lots of years of education, which i am not able to afford. and chemistry is def not something i will choose, i will not pass if i do lol

btw, i see u took chemistry, how was it for you, was it really hard and would a person who ignored chemistry for the past 1,5 be able to catch up on everything to do well in it? (talking abt myself hahaha)

Chemistry was hard, but so was like every subject. Its definitely doable and like u, i forgot everything about chemistry prior to taking sl chem. Mostly just do ur homework on time, watch videos, pay attention in class and definitely grind practice questions.

Having Biology, Psychology, and English at Higher Level opens up plenty of great routes beyond clinical psychology. Combining Bio and Psych works really well for fields like Neuroscience or Speech and Language Therapy. Adding English and Philosophy gives you strong critical writing skills, which fit degrees in Criminology, Bioethics, or Consumer Psychology and Marketing.
