Hi, I don't know which A-Level subjects to take? I am predicted a grade 9 in maths, 8 in English and all A*s in my other 7 subjects! I want to take computing, maths and Financial studies. But I don't know whether to take Further maths or IT, which one should I take? - advise please!

FM is a much stronger alevel than IT.
Also further maths isnt that much harder than regular Maths (besides a few modules) so I would suggest FM.

If it makes an effect to your choice, both IT and Financial Studies are not A-levels, and are rather equivalent, Level-3 awards. I'm unsure how they're viewed by universities.

Think finance counts as an Alevel standard but IT is a BTEC don't think it is valued as highly? =(
I was thinking computer science degree or apprenticeship after my alevels
The best combination of A Levels for computer science is physics, maths, further maths and computer science.
If you're getting those grades, I'd recommend a degree over an apprenticeship. Getting a STEM degree at a very esteemed university pays its dividends to a higher degree than an apprenticeship would.
Thanks, I think FM is viewed more highly by employers and unis?
Employers by and large aren't interested in your A-levels as they are not work qualifications, although for some graduate schemes they require a minimum UCAS tariff for entry.
