Do you think Gonvernment & politics is a "hard-core" or "Soft-core" A-level?

You say you're doing your A2 in Economics so that means you must have done it at A/S. Can I ask whether Economics is similar to Government and Politics? Also how hard do you consider Economics to be?

I said I'll take it onto A2.

And Economics is different from politics, it has government aspects but the subject is less essay based, more figure based.

Its obviously linked in with politics in terms of being THE economy which politics affects so much today.

Politics is more enjoyable, if you have an interest in it and economics gets more interesting by time, unit 1 (January exam unit) is pretty boring but thats because its looking at the basics of economics, microeconomics. It should get more interesting the more you go into it.

Economics is considered the better A-level as wel.

One more thing please, I know that economics is classed as the more recognised A level but in your opinion out of Government and Politics and Economics which one did you find easier.

It depends on what you're good at!

My boyfirend and I are now both first class graduates in Maths with Finance (him) and Politics, Philosophy and Economics (me)

but my boyfriend found A level politics really hard (he's not an essay man!) - and got an E at AS level!

I found that it was easy but NOT really easy. I'm good at essays and love the subject so it makes a big difference.

I think that if the teaching is poor, it can be a tricky subject but if you have good teachers, it's great.

In terms of how it is viewed by universities etc.. I get the impression that it is very well regarded. Not just because it is analytical (like history) but because it means you are aware of the wider world/ how the country works! (in general terms!)

I'm now a lawyer and I know my employers liked the fact I did politics.

sorry... In addition to my above post:

Economics is a fairly boring A level but politics is much more interesting. Both are well regarded but universities are aware that economics at A level is VERY basic!

And I'm not biased - did BOTH subjects at A level AND degree!
