None of those physics thingies is beyond the intelligence of an Arts A-level student and the teaching of a decent FTO, as a straw poll of my fellow pilots at Virgin has established.. .Never be bullied or 'shamed' into doing a qualification you don't want to do.

Agree strongly with M. Scroggs's sentiment re: not being bullied by parents/teachers/hearsay on PPRuNe into taking the wrong A-level subjects.
Many moons ago, I was manuvured into taking A-level Physics & Maths. Hated both of them and dropped out after 2 terms.
That experience later made me question whether my brain was wired the right way to cope with ATPL studies.
My A-levels in Business Studies, Economics & English Lit certainly haven't held me back, and am coping just fine with ATPL Groundschool, even doing distance learning with no one looking over my shoulder to help.
Would suggest actually that buying Mega Memory from Shop America [sic] would be as good as anything, because regurgitating facts is the crutial ability here.

Whoa there, G-BPEC. This thread is about what subjects may or may not be appropriate for a Wannabe commercial pilot. If you want to find out what is involved in the History A-level syllabus, there are much more suitable places to do it, starting with your own school. Keep to the point.
