    IB subjects that would help me study Business&Management later on?
    After the summer holidays my IB is starting, and I need to choose subjects that I want to learn.

    I want to go for Eco/Business/Management later on,

    and i have already chosen some subjects, but im having struggles with some others.

    #1 Can you people order the following subjects from the most required to the least?

    Physics
    Biology
    Chemistry
    Business Studies

    #2 I heard that Business is not so welcomed in a lot of Unis and why is that? I mean, why is business not so welcomed even in the Business/Management department??

    Thank you

    Most unis won't accept both business and economics as there is a lot of overlap, and most prefer economics.
    None of the sciences are neeed whatsoever so it is difficult to rank them, but just from personal preference I would put chemistry above biology and although I've never done physics it is supposed to be really hard. Hope this helps a bit

    Biology has the highest average out of all 3 sciences, so I'm assuming it's the easiest. Chemistry's the hardest from what I've heard.

    It really does depend at what yo are good at :P I struggle with biology because the mark schemes are very precise and i'm a bit of a waffler, but I'm a lot better at chemistry because most of the longer questions which require precision are maths related, which is my strong point.
