AS/A-Levels

What AS/A-Levels are you gonna take/are doing right now/did you take?

My school basically forces us to make a preliminary choice right now... so my current choices are:

History - 'nuff said
Politics - Great teachers + interesting topic
Physics - Syllabus looks great (Quantum Physics

)
Maths - Seems pretty easy + pretty interested in it
Philosphy - Iffy, was a choice between this or Economics, but philosophy just seems more interesting to me

I'm hoping to get into some kind of law-related career in the future, and according to my teacher me taking two essay-based subjects should be good enough. But I don't know... physics and maths just doesn't seem to fit in there, any advice(s)?

Probably Highers are the Scottish equivalent. I took English, Maths, Physics, History, and Geography.

You can take Philosophy at school?!

Philosphy is pretty new at our school though, apparently its only been done for 2 years as an A-level...

That reminds me, I gotta do a 6th AS/A-Level too... Critical Thinking....*groan*

Don't you have to take English? At my school that was the only subject we had to do if we were doing Highers.

That's weird, maybe schools in England and Scotland are different...

GAH! Talking bout languages just reminded me of another AS I am taking... Chinese...

That brings my total to 7...

A-Levels...I assume that's basically another word for that one can select ones own subjects in secondary school, or whatever one call this level of education. I study chemistry, physics, maths and geoscience. In addition to that, Norwegian, phys ed, modern history and religion and ethics are obligatory the last year.
