I do maths and further maths at the moment (I'm doing my A2s now) and I know a bit about economics as my friends have done it. What do you need?

Hi,
I'm quite good at Maths but i know the jump from GCSE to A-level in terms of difficulty will be BIG. Do you think i should send time doing revision this coming summer on those subjects or should i wait until Sept? What do you aspire to be in the future and what course will you take at uni if you decide to go?

I do economics. It can get boring but it's a really good a level. AS is ridiculously easy (you dont even need to revise) but A2 gets really hard.

Ive heard that Further Maths is really, really hard, even if you are very good at GCSE Maths. Is this true? if so then why?

do you have to have done GCSE economics in order to understand what is taught at the beginning of AS?

In my personal experience this year and last doing Edexcel it's just so much head ache, to give some context i do Business too which I'd recommend over Economics due to the enjoyment and you'd still be doing some economics just more in a finance and business context. Economics is just a lot to learn and exams drains the fun out of the subject 101% Will also be the sole reason I don't get into my Firm Uni (if i don't :frown:

Can be different in your case though thats just my experience, also if you're anticipating a lot of maths (considering your doing Math and FM) there isn't a lot... like none, just graphs and such. Depends what you want to do at University or after A-Levels to be honest.
