Is ICT (WJEC) pointless or nah?
I want to do economics in a good university and I am planning to do Maths Economics and Perhaps ICT so is it worth it doing ICT? I know its an easy A level which is why I am planning to do it...
I want to get into UCL or simpler unis

I did it and got an A* but its very boring and isn't relevant to economics.
yeah I know but for UCL or Anyof the top Unis they want Maths, Economics and something else (A*A*A or A*AA ) so if I can get (A* maths A Economics and perhaps A* ICT) it will look good?

Some universities don't look at ICT too favorably. I know Trinity College @ Cambridge doesn't because they have a blacklist of subjects. http://www.trin.cam.ac.uk/admissions/ug/apply/a-level-combinations
You should pick Further Maths and any subject from list A1/A2
Pointless. It's a soft subject and not respected.

What is the difference between Maths and FM?
I have taken this course at A Level and am awaiting my results for A2 Level. The coursework is fairly easy (most of my class got 95% or more marks) but the exam (based on last years AS paper) is very hard based on what people got.
For example:

The cumulative percentage of people getting A's overall is at 7.5% in ICT
On the other hand qualifications such as Mathematics for WJEC are at 29.1%

TLDR: If you want to get some easy UCAS points then A Level ICT may not be your best choice.
