I started economics, then found out it was too much essays for me
If you're like me and prefer maths and science style exams and hate essays then you might not like it. In my second week of studying it I had to write an essay 
We all thought economics would be highly maths based, especially since it's requirements in the uk is a B in maths gcse. However, i can say this confidently as a year 2 A level student doing AQA economics that it is almost all essay based except for doing percentage changes, and at the hardest difficulty, some bond yield questions/coupon questions. Students tend to find Essay question the hardest, and apart from essay; in our paper 3 we have 30 marks of MCQ in the whole course which isnt essay. SO YEA ITS LARGELY ESSAY BASED

I'm not that good at english with one grade higher than u - an A, however Economics isn't based on how eloquently you write, instead its highly based on knowledge and the structure of how you write it, along with some judgement in conclusions; its not as bad as you think.
