    Do you mean you are not sure whether to do A levels, and then go on to university, or to do NVQs or similar at an FE college?

    What do your current teachers recommend? What grades roughly do you expect in your GCSEs? Best subjects? Any career plans or interests?

    So you mean A levels at a sixth form college, FE college, or at the sixth form in your current school? I'm not sure it makes much difference tbh.

    If you seriously want to pursue medicine you will need to do Chemistry A level. Biology and maths would be good second and third subjects. Only do English if you think you will have time for a fourth A level.
