Common Candidate Subject Mistakes to Avoid

Skipping Further Mathematics at O'Level — it's not always compulsory, but it strengthens weak applications for competitive engineering courses.
Assuming Chemistry can be swapped for Biology — most engineering departments require Chemistry specifically.
Underestimating how much Mathematics and Physics scores matter for departmental screening.
