It depends entirely on what you want to do later in life. Obviously, A levels will be a considerable step up than GCSE's and there is a much greater emphasis on the subjects you choose. Working hard and coming out with good grades in the STEM subjects will be very useful for if you want to apply for a good Russell group university.

Personally, I would avoid the engineering A level as it's considered a weak subject by most respectable universities.

I did Maths, Physics and Further Maths and so I can only really speak for those. I will say Maths was fairly easy for me but further maths relied heavily on me enjoying the subject; especially considering it has a much heavier syllabus. I didn't do as well in physics because of the practical experiments and the ridiculous marking imo. So, in that respect, I guess you can say I found that subject harder. I was planning on taking chemistry for my 4th AS but was wrongly advised not to.

The one bit of advice I will give is that you should choose the subjects you enjoy and that correlate to what you want to do after A levels. If you enjoy the subject you will put a lot of revision in anyway.

I was also told by my parents to do maths and physics.

Its a great thing to have a A Level in as A lot of jobs look for them sort of qualifications first.

But at the end of the day, its your life and your decision!

What are you doing after a level to me it sounds like a waste of your time if your asking us to help decide if there difficult or not for you. ( It all depends on the person some people could be amazing some could struggle, it all depends how effort YOU put in).

They might but that's actually if it's an a level in that type of job but you would still need some sort of training.
