Any suggestions....?

I have been studying alevels business, accounts, economics and urdu but now I'm really confused about whether i should continue with urdu or choose any other subject but at the same time scared too of whether i would be able to study another subject or if it's too late.....
Id actually suggest you to swap out one of your other subjects (accounts or maybe business) because some unis will value all 3 of econ/buisiness/accounts as one subject so taking all 3 alongside Urdu could damage your chances at top unis or competitive courses.
Is there a specific reason why you want to drop Urdu?
And is there a reason you didnt take maths?
What do you wanna do with your a levels- like uni or a career or anything?
Objectively (removing any of your personal opinions or situation) the most strategic thing to do would be to take econ Urdu and one other subject. However you’ll have to consider you’ll have to catch up on whatever you swap out on.

Well most of my teachers suggested urdu (apparently it's reallyyyy easy according to them) and i just don't like maths.

Not liking maths is understandable, taking a subject you dislike is never a good idea really.
Have you got any ideas about what you want to do after your a levels though?

Not really...but probably anything related accounting like ACCA or CA

Have you looked into what qualifications you’ll need for this? If you’re interested in going to uni for accounting then check some entry requirements for courses you’d be interested in.

Just be a little wary - accounting and business at university might require A-Level maths, and economics will require A-Level maths, and a top grade in it if you want to go to a top uni. Regardless, those degrees could be maths heavy, so if you're not keen on maths, maybe think twice.

I'd also consider keeping Urdu A-Level as business has fairly big overlaps with microeconomics. As said above, they could be treated as a sub-ideal combination but I'm not a professional so don't count on my advice. You could alternatively do 4 subjects if Urdu isn't too much effort...

If you’re struggling with Urdu and unsure whether to continue, consider these points:

1.

Evaluate Your Strengths: If Urdu feels too challenging or less relevant to your future goals, switching might be wise. Subjects like Sociology or Psychology could complement Business, Accounts, and Economics.

2.

Time Factor: Switching subjects is manageable if you're early in your A-level studies but may require extra effort to catch up.

3.

Seek Support: If you want to continue Urdu, consider hiring a tutor to improve quickly. Sobia Abdullah (13 years of experience) or other experienced Cambridge Urdu tutors can help you excel.

Trust your instincts, and make a choice aligned with your strengths and goals!

It's not too late to switch subjects if you feel it's the right decision for you. Consider your strengths, interests, and how much effort you're willing to put into a new subject. If you're struggling with Urdu, a tutor like Sobia Abdullah can provide personalized help to improve your skills, which might make continuing with Urdu more manageable.
