it's my second year of a levels. But i'm still confused about my combination of subjects. I have taken Physics, chemistry, maths, general studies[AS], computing[AS] and economics too. Looking at my stubjects most of my friends say that I have taken a huge load of heavy subjects as I want to study software engg. at higher level. Taking economics has proved a lot of burden on me. I have been doing well with other subjects. I have already completed by economics - AS. I studied economics not as part of my higher studies but just to know about the market n all. Having said that frenz can you please suggest me some tips whether or not I shoud decide to drop economics or continue with the same combination.
Plzzzzzzzzz help me . any kind of help would be highly appreciated!!!!!!!

i suggest u drop eco and general studies, because fr software engineering u dont need both of them.............and de admission criteria is solely based on ur grades in pcm.....if u continue with de same combination, ur just gonna burden urself like hell...........instead u concentrate only on pcm and comp studies........ull surely do well........ :)

:o that many subjects?! you must be from pakistan/india....youre taking pretty big risks here, considering how important a-levels are for unis... thats just crazy man, just drop eco. and general studies- they pretty much have no value where youre going.....physics, math and computing wouldve bin enough...

Software engineering? Drop Chemistry. Immediately.

I think you should drop general studies because it doesn't count at all. Oxbridge and others don't even take them into consideration. I think you should keep Physics, Chemistry, maths and do full computing instead of just AS. I don't recommend you to drop Economics as it will reflect your real intellect at the university you will be applying to. Instead try taking AS Economics only.

I'm from india. The reason why i took chem is that,our universities such as IIT's requrire PCM for entrance exams.So, it become crucial for me if need admissions in such prestigious univs.
