economics a level??

im currently choosing my a level options and i chose economics, but now after reading some stuff online im not sure if it's for me. i am quite bad at essay writing and at gcse my best subjects were german and food tech. i don't think i would have any problem with the maths side of things as i am predicted an 8 for maths gcse, but is there a lot of essays involved in economics, and would i be better off taking business? (i think i want to study german at university so it wouldn't really impact that)

At a-level there is not alot of math in economics there is at university though. It is essay based. I haven't done business so i can't comment on that

You know there's a lot of essays in MFLs at university, don't you?

true but there's essays in uni for nearly every subject isn't there?
also it's weird but i don't mind German essays i kind of like them as mfls are my favourite subjects but i could only do german sadly :frown:
