Students need more guidance on A-level choices, survey suggests
Only 30 per cent of students feel suitably informed of how their A-level options would impact their university/degree choice, according to a new survey.
The survey, conducted by YouthSight for Which? University, found that 29 per cent of respondents felt they needed more advice on which A-levels to take.
It also revealed that 18 per cent of university applicants believed that different A-level subjects might have been better suited to the degree course they applied for, with 52 per cent saying they picked their choices without thinking about what degree they wanted to study.
