I go to a 6th form college and study AS Level Govenment and Politics, General Studies, ICT and Business Studies.

Overall it is going OK.

However, I have a few problems.... I am finding Business Studies very hard, I did a mock exam today and found it very hard! I have a exam on Wednesday! I will be ashamed of my self if I get a grade U which is highly likely to be the case.

I thought ICT was difficult but I managed to get a grade C in a mock exam.

General Studies... well I don't know really.

As for politics, the subject is quite easy, not that hard! However, in the lessons I feel very displaced and feel very uncomfortable. I sometimes feel phyically sick before going in. I hate it! I achieved a grade B (1 mark from an A), in another essay i did in the week.
I am thinking of dropping this subject. But I would be throwing away a possible grade B at AS level. I wouldn't be able to take on another AS level right now as it is too late. I would only have 2 A levels + General Studies. For uni, I need 3 A levels.

I thought, I had made my mind up for a career in business but after todays performance I must think again!

Help! What should I do... drop Politics or what?

Thanks

The problem is that many unis won't accept General Studies, so I would very strongly advise you to keep up politics. In an ideal world you should drop anything that's adding pressure but if you drop a subject you're good at when there's already a chance you'll fail another you may well be blowing uni.

However, if you're prepared to do an extra year and keep studying until you get enough A Levels to get to a uni you want to go to, drop politics and start a new subject at AS Level next year.

I think it would be a shame to drop something you seem really good at.

You say that -

I feel very displaced and feel very uncomfortable. I sometimes feel phyically sick before going in. I hate it!

Do know or do you want to share why that is ???
