Depends on yer field you wanna further study in.
I'd suggest taking Math and Accounting- to keep yer options open.

Seconded.

We won't be able to help yuh unless yuh don't know what yuh wanna do when yuh grow up. ::)

Accounting is necessary since it's too different from business studies and economics. AS level math is what yuh need if yuh are looking forward fer bba/MBA and so on. So i'd prefer taking business studies, economics, accounting and AS math. :D

You might like it in AS level. For example, I loathed Physics during my IGCSE but when I actually studied it myself during AS Level . . . It became my fav. subject!

According to me, Math is a very important subject and it'll be a benefit fer you if you have it.

First and foremost, decide yer field first then choose yer subjects.

If you are confused about which field to go to, I suggest you do Istikhara for it. (: Best option we all have! :D

Good luck, chere!

Accounting is not needed fer ACCA only. Accounting is one of the basis of ANY business. Yuh'll need Accounting to grasp theories in yer MBA too.

Why not look fer some field in computers ?  :-\ Do whatever Romeesa said. =/

Accounting and Maths are the best subjects for you.

And between, if you learn to love the things you have to do, life is going to be a lot smoother.
Get to work. :)

ICT is also an option, Its a nice subject and not too difficult plus it helps people who take business and stuff
I would also recommend Math to you, Its an important subject in my point of view

Edit: You mentioned that you like computers? Then I would suggest you to take ICT/computer studies and why not look for some field which involves computers or do you like business more?

If you took Accounting for IGCSE then you won't find almost any differences in the AS.

Accounting is definitely one of the easiest subjects ever and I never stopped loving it, and because I really enjoyed what I'm doing my teacher asked me to teach accounting in the future.

As for Math AS, another easy subject but you will find differences between the AS syllabus and the IGCSE one.

Accounting is a scoring subject and MANY people do agree to that. You just need to learn the formats and then everything else applies to that. Try looking on it in another direction.

I took Math A-level and Accounting A-level so I did the AS of both and they were really fine. =]

However, you could think about having other choices if you really dislike those subjects like for example English ?

Sometimes, ALLAH breaks our heart to make us whole.
Sometimes, ALLAH allows pain so we can be stronger.
Sometimes, ALLAH sends us failure so we can be humble.
Sometimes, ALLAH takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything HE gave us.

When Allah leads you to the edge of difficulty... either ALLAH will catch you when you fall or ALLAH will teach you how to fly! =]

Please make them strong ya Allah...

hmm mabe u shuld drop either econ / business (its almost the same) , there's much better possibilities with the other 3 ( i/t , accounts & maths)
I/t becomes essential in almost any subject now a days so u might consider that , & accounts is essential when it comes to anything in business , so u might wanna consider that ! , Maths could be your option too if u plan to take BS , probably stat would come in handy !, but for econ its nt that important

but after all all these depends on what u think u wanna b
