Overview

The gap between a good career and a great career can be something as simple as choosing the right A levels. Why? Because the choices you make now could determine which university course, apprenticeship or job you can access in the future. With so much at stake, it can feel overwhelming or almost impossible to get right. Fully updated, this 2nd edition of Choose the Right A Levels will be your essential guide as you explore your options. Helping you make confident choices, it answers key questions such as: What does the course outline look like and how is it assessed? What will I need at GCSE to study the subject at A level and how does it compare to GCSE? What key skills does the subject draw on and develop? Which subjects are preferred or required for certain degree courses and careers? What subjects combine well together? Written by expert Careers Adviser Ray Le Tarouilly, this trusted guide will give you a solid foundation for future success. 'A thorough and comprehensive resource for exploring A level options and informing choices. I would highly recommend this invaluable book to students, parents and colleagues alike.' Ian McClary, former Head of Sixth Form, Bryanston School, Dorset
