If you are aiming for UK universities 3 subjects are really suffice. Most of the time, the students here take Biology/Chemistry/Physics without Maths for Med School.
Personally as a Physics/Chemistry/Biology/Maths - 4 subjects student, you are just bring yourself unnecessary hell into the picture doing all 4 subjects in 18 months.
I personally couldn't bare the struggle and finding balance in my A-Levels doing 4 subjects, despite doing well in SPM for it.
If you haven't decided to choose between "Life Sciences" or "Engineering" or other fields, like I was struggling to pick a "Biotech" vs "Electrical Engineering".
I would not recommend dropping either both subjects for Physics or Biology, and most likely try to score moderately in all 4 subjects, aka Bs or Cs.
Biology is a reading subject, at AS most of the stuff in SPM would aid your way, but once A2 it is another playing field.
I spent like most of the time reading and solving past papers for Biology and Maths, Chemistry, and literally threw Physics under the bench.
*Cough* The Topical Past Papers for Biology is horrible and badly organize.
Let's hope your A-Level College has their own topical past papers, rather than the one sold on the market.
If your teacher/lecturers doesn't bring you "light" in either 1 of your 4 subjects, you will definitely crumble in your A-Levels.
I've personally went through alot of bad and rookies lecturers during my A-Levels days and scored moderately with my own personal efforts to just make it into Engineering School, and scrapped past through all those minimum entry requirements.
You won't have such luck, if you plan to do Med School tho. Some of my friends repeated Foundation in Manipal just to get into Med School
I'm also in the same position with OP (original poster) aiming for medicine, deciding if I should take 4 subjects (physics, bio, chem, maths) and am a foreign student in MY trying to pursue for Seoul Nat Uni. The competition is crazy there so I'm wondering if I should go for fourth subject and it would be worth it.. What's your advice on this one? and may I have a recommendation for uni/col for A levels (concerned about lec & studying environment)? Thanks in advance!Personally as a Physics/Chemistry/Biology/Maths - 4 subjects student, you are just bring yourself unnecessary hell into the picture doing all 4 subjects in 18 months.
