Don't do both Business and Economics, choose one. Economics is the most 'respected' of the two.

Yeah what he said! It's a 'classic' a level business studies is newer

thanks for that very very helpful site!

Bear in mind those only apply to those specific universities, and should only be used as a "rule of thumb", other universities may have different preferences or not care at all.

Just another quick question you guys think that doing the three sciences and maths is hard work at A-level?

I am prepared to work hard the day whole whilst at sixth form and also work alot when i come home.

How possible is it to get 4 A's as I have seen the requirements for Newcastle Univerisity and they don't accept anyone who has resit an exam.

Thanks

Law
It was a bit of a whim for everyone I knew who took it, because non of us had any experience with it, but it turned out to be my best subject and my favorite, I found it so interesting and come exam time I was always getting A's or B's and so was the rest of my class, we did have a really good teacher, but now I'm taking Law at uni in october, so you never know :smile:

Law related to business?

Yeah, but I think you could say it depends on the teacher for a lot of subjects, e.g I love history, but at A level i didn't have a great teacher, so i've struggled, my boyfriend got an A* in maths a GCSE without revising, and at A level ended up struggling in the second year because all the teacher did was hand out past papers and not teach them how to actually do the papers.

Law is related to business, I didn't do business my self but about 90% of my class did business and law together and found they were their two best subjects. Law is loads of fun to study, really interesting when you get to the murder/manslaughter bit, but if there is really no room for you to have your 'random' choice as I like to call it, then you're best sticking to what you know, and what you know you're going to need for your future :smile:

No point doing econ, business and accounting - unis really don't like it and it leaves you quite limited.

I'd say Maths, Physics, Econ and Computing? Or substitute chem/bio for computing?

That was what I did! :biggrin:

You'll have to work for it, but it's fun! You don't have to sacrifice your social life for A-Levels, it's not that hard, I finished my A-Levels in 10 months basically studying myself and it was fun. Taking 3 sciences together is a very good idea. They have a significant overlap, so you'll just have to put in the effort of studying 2.5 subjects. They also help complement each other, which will allow you to have a better understanding of each subject.

But if you want to keep your options open, perhaps chemistry+biology+econs+maths would be a good combination.

PS: you didn't ask for it, but here's some really good advice: www.xtremepapers.net.
Do all of the past years. :borat:
