Deciding A-Level Courses

I am currently deciding to study Computer Science, Business Studies and Accountancy.

Do you think this is a good mix and good you give me ideas for another A-Level I could study?

Maths would be a good combination with accounting if you enjoy it.

You should never study an A-Level just because someone recommends it to you, you should study what you enjoy doing.
Bull****, I hated GCSE physics and now I'm thinking of doing it at degree level

I was going to do a BTEC Level 3 in Software Development. However, the school I am currently at ruined that option for me by not having more then one computer science teacher and I now am not as interested as I first was so I thought it may help if I do A-Levels because if I don't like Computer Science A-Level then I can do an AS instead

Alright, apparently it is quite hard though from what I have heard but a rewarding subject.

Yeah at Secondary School I had the opportunity to do Additional Maths which is a mixture of GCSE and A-level Maths and I couldn't complete it because I found it difficult and had more important subjects to study

Oh it may be a bit risky studying it at a-level then. Perhaps psychology instead. I done it and got an A and its quite rewarding. I also done business studies but psychology was easier but it depends on your exam board and personal preference.

The BTEC is great and if you want to study something IT or Computer Science related at uni then I think its a good option however if you arent sure then got for various different A levels which will open up different doors for you

Yeah that's why I will probably apply for both and then think about it some more
