for Econ/Finance it is Maths that matters. You can drop any other one.

As above - Maths is the critical subject.
Just drop whatever is your weakest / least enjoyable subject.
Chemistry uses more similar skills to maths in terms of problem solving rather than memorising content like in biology...just something to consider perhaps?

Hi!

You could see which one you enjoy the most in AS and see if you would want to continue it for another year, and then make the decision from that or you can drop the one you would perform the least in!

Hope this helps!

Whichever one you are likely to get the lowest grade in.
