Is physics A level worth it?

I am looking to apply for maths or economics in university and am picking my a levels. I am going to pick maths and further maths with economics as a third. As my third I am considering physics as I do enjoy it and it links well with the others or an easier subject like politics. (I am predicted to get around all 9s at gcse for context). Should I take physics or go for the easier subjects?

from what i’ve heard it’s good and it links with a level maths mechanics too but there’s a lot of content and if you’re not enjoying it now you won’t enjoy it then

Hey! From someone who does maths, further maths, physics and compsci at A-Level, it is so worth it, but only if you really like the subject, because it is really content heavy.

It is very content heavy but if you work hard then you’ll be able to keep up…just be aware it will be difficult but not impossible.

If you’re unsure exactly what you’re going to apply for i would stick with that combination (math, fm, physics and Econ). For maths degrees, that would be really beneficial compared to an essay subject like politics, and it’s my impression that its also very good for Econ at unis like LSE or Cambridge who have a very mathematical take on the degree. Otherwise, if you know you want to do only economics and feel that you might not get an A/A* in physics, it might actually be more of an advantage to have that grade rather than what the subject actually is.

I thought you were doing economics as your third?
