Depends on what degree/career you want to do in the future

•

engineering you could pick either but I would probably pick chemistry (especially if you want to go into chem eng/materials).

•

If you want to go into maths/computing you could pick either.

•

If you want to go into any of the physical sciences (I.e physics) I would pick chemistry.

•

Finance/econ pick econ (obviously)

If it’s either just pick the one you’re more interested in. Just a heads up, chemistry a level is quite different to GCSE chemistry.

Econ is more interesting than chem in my opinion and the content is also easier. Econ is an essay based subject tho (with quite a few diagrams/graph).
