accounting, maths and economics

An essay subject is def not needed but could be good to have. Accounting is not seen as a great subject though, how about further maths or history

i would take fm but im not the greatest at the mechanics portion of math, let alone do mechanics in fm. i take the pure maths 1 and 3 and stats 1 and 2 route for alevel math. so fm for me is probably not a good choice considering i want to score an A* overall in all my subjects

history isn't my strongest forte either (i suck at dates). is it possible to take as level fm only alongside the mentioned subjects?

thanks :smile:
Economics already is an essay subject. No it isn’t ‘necessary’ to do another but it would help a lot because of transferable skills in economics. Consider politics, history or philosophy
