Is there really any benefit to taking 5 ALS instead of 4? | r/IGCSE | Page 1

My current combination is:

Math (Year 1)
Further Math (Year 2)
Chemistry
Physics
Computer science

My chemistry class is going at a pretty slow pace and I'm not even sure whether going through the hell of 5 subjects is worth it when the career I want to get into is AI engineering (so chemistry isn't really required and just keeps other options open).

I'm already self studying P3 for al maths and not sure whether the workload will be manageable towards the end of the year.

Should I wait a bit longer and then make the decision? Drop it on the spot? Just do AS qualification and not full a level for chemistry?

Really stuck here, any advice would help.

usually it stops being worth it once u go past 4
