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!

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.

Thanks, I think FM is viewed more highly by employers and unis?

But by universities definitely, especially if youre applying to maths/engineering/ mathematical sciences etc

I would imagine so by employers, although once you get a degree I doubt theyll care too much. Not too sure on this though

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.

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.
