Are these good A level choices??

I want to study law or accounting /finance at uni and I'm currently thinking of taking :
Pure Maths and statistics (likely to get grade 7 in maths and A in statstics )
Economics
Geography
Btec business
Is there any options that will be more suitable
BTEC business I would say isn't a good choice. Many Unis advise against taking Business Studies, let alone as a BTEC. You'd be much better off taking a more facilitating subject like a language or a science or another humanity.

How are you with science? Even just to AS as it's always helpful, plus it looks good on your UCAS form to have a range of subjects as long as you have the necessary subjects.
Some universities (warwick being one) don't like you to take courses which overlap in curriculum. Business studies and economics overlap quite a bit so that might be a problem. Perhaps it's best to scrap the BTEC in Business studies, as you're already doing 3 a levels there doesn't seem to be much point in doing it. That being said, doing what you enjoy is the most important thing.

It depends what course you're going for. It's a bit humanity-heavy.
