Combination of courses

Now this might be a bit of a confusing question but I hope it makes sense. If you had to say between the traditional 3 A-Levels Vs 2 A-levels + 3 AS Levels + A level 3 Btec which is better for uni/apprenticeship applications? Important detail I might add is that in my specific situation it would mean having Maths (which is a requirement for a few subjects at certain unis) be an AS instead of a full A-level

When you say, "in my specific situation it would mean having Maths ... be an AS instead of a full A-level", what is "it"?

Do any of the scenarios you've outlined allow you to take a full A level in Maths? If not, then there's no point applying to universities which require A level Maths.

If your "the traditional 3 A-Levels" option allows you to take A level Maths, then do that. Or rule out those unis / courses which require it.
