Politics = blerch.

Otherwise, I'd go with the first set: Economics, Maths, Physics with Business Studies (even thought that's crap too)

Doing Economics and Business together is generally a bad idea, 'cos universities often only look at one of the two.
How "bad" are you at Maths? If you can get an a* in Stats, I'm sure you can't be that bad.
Out of those combinations, I'd probably choose the second lot. Have you got any idea what you want to do at uni?

Bad is my opinion not grading sorry little information.
Maths is a probably physics a star and eco/business = a*
For uni im considering eco or business or law as with the current economy its more reliable to have as a job

Have to agree - business studies + economics is a bad idea, so I'd go for the 2nd set as well.

pow!

business studies and economics is FINE if you're not aiming for top 10 unis. i e-mailed around because i am doing both also. southampton, loughborough and cardiff accept business and economics as 2 completely seperate a levels. whereas warwick, oxford, durham etc. see them as like 1.5. as im doing 4 a-levels (maths history economics and business) the top unis dont mind. however if you only do 3 a-levels (as+a2) inc. business and economics then u will be at a disadvantage.

economics maths physics politics

The first 3 are all well respected and link well together. Politics offers a good variation, I take it and it's really interesting + more respected than business.
