@gomes. and Leto
thx for ur replies.
izit possible to do 5 subjs? pure science + further maths. the reason im considering this because i'm still pretty unsure about my career path (whether medicine or engineering) but im afraid i might miss out alot in engineering if i hadnt done further maths in alvls. furthermore i like maths alot
It is possible, someone i knew (not my intake, few years ago, maybe now they change rules), got his parents to write a note to the head of the department of a levels (dunno which college you are in) and he got to take 5 subjects.thx for ur replies.

You dont need further maths for medicine (all the people i know who are going for medicine/doing medicine -- majority didnt do further maths)
You shouldnt drop biology, you need a minimum of AS biology to apply to UK for medicine at most universities, but most students would have chem, bio and maths when they apply. You dont need physics for medicine either, but since you want to keep your options about engineering open, you should just do 3 sciences and maths. Thats my advice.
Unless you are really smart, you shouldnt do 5 subjects including futher maths, the amount you need to study is too much time. Further maths gets really tough after around halfway through your a level course.
you dont need further maths for engineering, its not compuslory.
Compulsory for medicine: Maths, Chemistry, Biology (at least AS, but everyone has A2 bio)
Compulsory for engineering: Maths, Physics. (Chemistry if you want to do chem eng)

^ You could die trying.
They have a 2 weeks trial period where you can go class-hopping. But I don't think you get to see much from F. Maths classes since we only start Further Pure Maths in Semester 2.
Certain unis do not require A-levels Biology as a compulsory subject for Medicine. And even if you decide to do Engineering without F. Maths, you would still be able to catch up easily.
