maths or computer for AS?
« on: August 21, 2011, 06:00:02 pm »
i have decided on my first 3 AS level subjects (business, accounts , economics) but now im in another whole mess!
i cant decide between maths or computer!! i see both of them being a useful subject.
maths...i will be able to get help from my classmates n computer i enjoy!
maths...will help in my accounts and computer is good for business!! *sigh*

so could the maths and computer students help me out?



extra information!!: i dont have teacher for either of the subject so i will have to do self-study!!

does it mean i should just kill my pride and take 3 subjects!??

Computing or ICT ?

Many different applications in commerce subjects have a link with Maths chapters. Computing needs some knowledge of maths too.

and think before doing 4 subjects...if u'll really be able to handle 4 subjects
it shouldn't effect ur performance in other subjects!

By the way why do you want to take 4 AS,do you want to continue into A2 or not,I'm dropping all sciences and going for math A2 and ICT AL next year :)

By the way what the difference between computing and ICT,I'm self-studying as well,I'll be free most of the classes at school  ;D
