Doesnt matter. Whichever one you are interested in [ look at the spec properly] and has best teachers
What you want is the best grade..
If you want to do an economics degree why don't you think about doing an economics a level

If you don't like writing essays, it might be best to avoid A Levels like History and Geography.

I might not enjoy it but i am good at essay style questions and im a quick writer.
History is a very demanding A level. I’d say it’s definitely up there as being one of the hardest A levels. It’s not too much about essays, that’s just a given because it’s an essay based subject. There is so so much content, so many dates and it is nothing like GCSE. It doesn’t matter if you’re a “quick writer” because you have to know what to write firstly. It’s all about evaluation and analysis and how you use sources. Honestly geography is so much easier
