Well Economics at A Level barely has any Maths in it. The only Maths that you're likely to come across is basic percentage calculations. It's the study of choices and how individuals and groups will try to maximise their needs and wants with limited resources. It's definitely more interesting that it sounds () but I'm also biased since I'm doing a degree in it. It's an essay based subject and exams are based on writing essay style answers. If you want more information on what's covered then take a look here: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki...Revision_Notes

I certainly enjoyed it when I took it at A Level. If it's possible maybe you could talk to an Economics teacher about the subject.

Environmental Science/Geology at A-Level?

Our school doesn't offer that.

ah, in that case then if you like all your chosen subjects then you should go for it

Economics you learn about the economic system. Things like supply, demand, elasticity, its a bit boring at the start but its not hard.
Has some maths just a bit of re-arranging and calculate percentage, easy stuff.

Drop psychology and put in Economics I suggest.

Oh and I also do maths and your 'its hard' attitude doesn't help, its actually easy with work, you will find its a big but possible step, change your mindset.
