Do yuh mean that yuh would do either A level economics or economics and math AS level?

Yer decision must be based on yer aims in life. What would yuh like to become? An economist?

What other subjects do yuh have?

Yuh need atleast 3 Alevel grades to get into a Uni, i suppose.

Anyway, it would be better if yuh'd do A level Economics because AS level economics doesn't mean anything to the unis. =]

Hope that helped. =]

Even i've planned to do ACCA. I had Business Studies, AICT, Accounting and Economics. Economics would be a very useful subject if yer considering MBA. For ACCA, yer Accounting must be upto the mark. AS math is also a requirement fer some universities if yuh want to do BBA.

So do yuh mean that yuh would either do A level economics or economics and math AS level?

And i agree that economics A2 syllabus is extremely lengthy and difficult but everything in life is difficult and i believe yuh'll be able to secure a fine grade.

Maths is gold. Think seriously before you drop it. Consider also stats

I'm not in this side of studies, but I'd say that Economics and Mathematics, both are gold. If you must sacrifice, slaughter Business Studies. Just because the two are tough doesn't mean they are inaccessible. Put your heart to it and you can do it.

Economics gives you the MOST amount of credits at uni compared to ALL other subjects.

Plus its a serious subject with MANY real world applications. If you do well in it, you'll have a promising career.

Business St. is pure BS. Enough said... :P
