Maths HL IB (AA or AI) or Further Maths A-level?

Hi, I'm y11 and know I'd really like a career in accountancy, statistics and the finance sector, which means I definitely want to take maths for y12-13 (along with economics and geography for my a-levels/ higher level subjects). However I'm not really sure whether to do 1) the IB or A-levels or 2) if I do the IB do AA or AI maths (or whether further maths A-level is better than both of them). Any advice? Thank you :smile:

if you decide on IB then Math AI is definitely more fitting (analysis and interpretations), idk anything about A-levels but they seem a lot easier than a full ib diploma

If you think that you can't get the total IB score you need for your university requirement because you might do worse on the other mandatory core subjects (world language, english, science, math, and social subject), along with CAS, EE, TOK, then I would say do A levels since you wouldn't be assessed on your total points of subjects added up (Idk how much you know about the IB so I'm being a little vague)

A levels seem more focused and I've heard it's easier to meet uni requirements for the reason I stated above, but I think that even though the IB is harder it's a very rewarding program that can be a good challenge

(+ I speculate that Math HL AI might actually teach you more related mathematics to your interest, but I don't know much about A levels)
