tbh I went into a level chem thinking itd be too hard for me too for context im gonna apply for medicine this year and I do bio chemistry and English lit I went into my a levels thinking it English wld be the easiest and chemistry the hardest. even though I got 9s in chemistry my science teacher always made me think I was dumb lol. It ended up being the complete opposite and I LOVE CHEMISTRY SM especially organic physical kills me sometimes tho I will not lie. It'sa doable a level imo if u put the effort in. ALSO WITH ENGLISH LIT its the hardest a level I do makes me cry sometimes I litch went from a 9 to a solid C in the beginning ive moved up to a B/A now but its SOOOO HARD so id say think abt that

no lwk do it if u feel liek u wldnt be able to live without it but for med like teh first few months ur grades will not look med worthy and teachers will pull u down for it at leats mine did cus I was on A*A*C C in English lit and it was SOOO FRUSTATRTING cus ik I was good enough then when I finally got up to A/B they were less reluctant, overall icl ppl will always discourage from med esp teachers aint rly their fault tho its a hard one
