 You need three science subjects at A' level - Chemistry, Biology & Physics seem the most common combinations. BUT getting into medical school is about more than your A' levels - you have to do some work experience while you are a sixth former that is relevant to your application as this will give you the edge when you go to interview.

You will need to study whatever is required to become a doctor, so usually it is a requirement to have chemistry and biology (sometimes just chemistry) paired with whatever other a-level you think goes well. You can find more info here:

Good luck!
