A-Level choices: Geography, Physics, or Economics?

Don't do 5 A-levels would be my advice. Give yourself time to have a life, do things you enjoy and maybe extra/super curricular things.

I haven't heard of any sixth form that allows for 5 a levels and was only planning on doing 4 because of further maths seeming to require it but thanks, I'll keep check on my work life balance 👍

Do you have any further advice on how to have a life? Also I've never heard of that jazzy term of super curricular, what's it about or is it just your swag?

Hello 👋

I am planning on studying Further Maths, Maths, Computer Science and Physics.

I have Geography as my fifth option

however I am interested in economics as well.

I'd like to have an idea of which would be more beneficial when applying to universities or jobs, what's covered, and their difficulties as well as the main benefits of studying the subject.

Thank you! 🙇

Computer Science is exhausting and too much effort for an A* or A grade. ☹️ So don't take it.

Geography might be boring in physical geography, but human geography is very interesting. So don't take it.

Economics has a lot of easy data response marks and essays are just 15 to 30 marks each. Also, it is not that difficult in terms of workload and you have YouTube video channels devoted to Economics and Tutor2U as well for boosting your grade. 🙂

Physics, won't be easy, but as long as you study Further Mechanics for A-Level Further Maths, you should get a high grade.

Further Maths is not too difficult and is required by Cambridge, LSE, UCL, Warwick and helps a lot for many courses also at: KCL, QMUL, SOAS, Edinburgh, Durham, Bristol, York, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Newcastle and Liverpool.

Hey that's some nice information, thanks!
Do you take com sci? because I'm very curious as to why it'd be so exhausting if you could expand on that

My cousin did A-Level Computer Science on the OCR board and he got an A grade many years ago but his Economics, Maths and History grades suffered as he devoted far too much time to the project coursework.

But even now, with the reforms of the Computer Science specification the NEA i.e. Non-Examined-Assessment is simply far too time consuming and can be very stressful.

So do Computer Science, if you can sacrifice your social life around the time of the Programming project NEA. 🙂 lol

Oh I've heard OCR is the worst, bless them.
