It depends on what kind of scientist… However, I would strongly suggest that you get good higher in mathematics as mathematics underpins the physical sciences (chemistry and physics) and is increasingly playing a role in biology. I’d then suggest you get a higher in the science(s) that you are interested in. But look to what the universities are asking for in terms of entry!

I like your name by the way 😊
I would say chemistry, physics and maths. If someone wants to become a biologist or work in a biology related field then they should take biology -

Chemistry, as It has many industrial scopes. If you study chemistry, you can find job in oil company or pharmaceutical drug company and many more. You can also stay in academia and do teaching/research in school or university.

I think if you want to become a scientist it’s a good idea to study all three sciences; Chemistry, Physics and Biology. Maths is also really useful for science as it gives you a background in how a lot of science works. I also think it’s useful to learn another language because not all scientists speak English, and it’s good to be able to communicate your research – plus it means you can visit other countries to do science there!

It depends what kind of scientist you want to be – I done all three sciences at higher level – Chemistry, Biology and Physics as well as Maths, English and Modern Studies. I think maths does underpin a lot of science – especially physics!
