Welcome!
You are in my situation! I tood AS edexcel, took physics, math, biology and chemistry. Sometimes physics is necessary important for the uni sometimes not, it depends where is it. I think biology, math and chemistry are the most important

I'm taking C1,C1 and M1 in Maths which are fine, cause I took additional maths in IGCSE.
Biology and chemistry are not that easy but we can handle it.

well, i am in  the same situation and was planing to take As physics aswell,,, but i reconsidered that and decided to drop it... :P..honestly you dont need it plus you need to focus well on BIOLOGY and CHEMISTRY (and thats not possible if you have 4 As subjects to worry about!!)..............By the way i guess you live in the UAE??????????  right/ ::)
