Well, I'm doing German AS over two years, so it won't be that bad...and anyway, if I enjoy them, time will seem irrelevant

If you want to study Economics Further Maths is a very good choice, as universities are usually more "impressed" with students who study it.
Good choice for Economics and as for Law, well they accept anything (appart from General Studies).

If that happens, you could do the subject on your own.

I suppose that would be possible, but since I have to do 4 AS levels anyway, I would not be able to do German, which would be a shame.

Have you checked with your school/college whether they are able to offer that certain combination. And don't worry about taking 5 a levels. I take 5 and it feels normal.

No what happens I that we hand in our options form with our choices and a reserve subject, and if there is a clash they tell us and sort it out from there

Oh i see. As long as you take maths its ok for Economics, as you don't need to study Eco. at A Level anyway to study the subject.

If you study Economics, it will give you a foundation on what it is about and stuff.

It is true that studying Economics gives foundation knowledge about it. But a survey has been conducted by UCL and it concluded that students who study it as an A level do worse in their first year don't do as well as those who did not.
