I study maths, fm, physics and economics and can safely say economics is my biggest regret. There’s very very little maths in it (percentage change, simple division) and a lot of essay writing and hypothetical situations. One side, macroeconomics is very political and based on the UK economy and global economics, and Microeconomics is a lot to do with individual businesses and firms and consumers which I actually don’t mind. If you aren’t into things like politics you may not enjoy it, however if you really know you want to study it at uni I’d choose it as despite them saying it’s not needed, it’d be really helpful and probably increase your chances
