I wouldn't do those 2. Universities don't like it when you do both economics and business studies as they see them as "one subject". Do the better subject economics and switch business studies with something else.

It's really easy if you find it interesting. In my class though, even people who don't particularly enjoy it don't seem to find it impossible.

It is tough, but if you start revision early and go over everything properly then it's easy to get an A/A*.

Yeah I would reiterate not to do both Economics and Business Studies, I know some people who did this and they're regretting it now because they're too similar. To answer your question if Economics is hard, it's not that hard because the things you learn are quite logical and it's made easier if you take an interest in the news so that you can see real life examples of the stuff you learn, which helps your understanding.
