oh its a maths Gcse ok ok that should be fine then so your only doing 4 Actual AS's thats fine personally i think 2 of your subjects are soft and for finance you really should take maths to AS at the least

You should be taking a Maths AS-level & Economics AS-level and then the other 2 our up to you :smile:

,but like because u got a "D" at GCSE Maths you might want to consider doing Business instead?

I thought most colleges required at least a B in GCSE Maths for you to take Economics at AS?

English Language and Literature is available in one I think. :smile:

I agree I would reccomend doing further maths aswel but if you cn't even manage gcse maths you'll have no chance of obtaining a good results. But I do think you need A2 maths if not AS at least, otherwise i would consider a different course or forget applying to any top uniz.

I would do business but that clashed on my time table, in my college there is English lit AS and English lang/lit AS. I appreciate the replies everyone, thank you.

I'm pretty sure for Finance you need to be good at Maths GCSE & to have taken it at A-Level. If you struggle with the Maths at GCSE then you will find the Maths involved in Finance hard.
