    ICT/Economics AS?
    This will be my fourth choice, I am doing biology, chemistry and geography. I would like a light and fairly straightforward fourth choice but I am worried that ICT is viewed as too soft? Would appreciate any advice and thanks in advance.

    ICT is certainly regarded as soft, and is often blacklisted by the best universities. If you wish to go to one of these, choose Economics. Otherwise, there is not much difference.

    Unless you want to go to a top university, choose the one you enjoy most and think you could get the best grade in.
