Im in big trouble. What should I do?

If i fail my as level for physics they make me pick another subject anyways. Also onto your other point. You said top unis dont accept business and economics combo. Do you mean oxbridge type unis or Russell group unis. Also what about apprenticeship?

I mean its better to not fail one of your subjects. They wouldn't necessarily 'look down upon you.' Top unis don't really like business A level - but obviously it's better to get 3 a levels vs 2 (if you failed physics). What would you do for your predicted grades though because if you drop physics you'll only have 2? Would you take a gap year so you get actual grades? I think you need to have a talk with your school

It's not advisable to take BS and Econ - too much overlap,

Im in year 12. I do maths, physics and economics. I want to go and study something finance related at uni. The thing is i suck at physics. Im absolutely dreadful at it. What should i do? Im thinking of picking up A level business as its useful for finance related careers. If i pick up a level business i would have to complete it in one year which i think is not too difficult since i already do economics which is slightly related to business. Would universities look down on me after seeing that i have dropped physics at the end of year 12 and picked up another subject? I honestly have no idea what to do. Can someone give me an idea. Feel free to ask me any questions

Hi there,
I would consult with your teachers and careers advisor firstly to make an informed decision. I also would not underestimate completing a 2 year A-Level in Business in one year, it will be intense.
You will not be looked down upon for dropping an A-Level, so long as you still meet the conditions of the entry requirements and your offer.
However, as it sounds like you may be ensure on what your next steps should be - have you considered taking a gap year?
Kind regards, Jenifer (Kingston rep)

I just said that if you actually see my messages. Some lower ranked unis will take both, hence why I said it was better to come out with 3 A levels rather than 2 (if he failed physics)

But my other option is a btec. Surely it’s better than a btec

It massively restricts his choices and readiness for uni. Many schools, including mine, don't allow that combination. Why take an A level that restricts your choices?

Because what's the alternative? What other A level can you learn over the summer and get a decent predicted grade?

They are taking a gap year .. no need to apply this year. No teacher is going to give a prediction based on having no lessons with them ...

What subject do you think i should take instead of business?

This thread is weird I'm pretty sure you can get into most Russell group unis (probs not Oxford or lose) with business and econ. You said finance right I did a quick search and Manchester doesn't care. If you're looking for a more niche degree in finance if you already haven't search the entry requirements for the course? That will tell you whether to pick up business or not. Did u do business gcse if so I would recommend the switch and there's lowkey nothing wrong with btecs as long as u do like two relevant alevels. Good luck!

Not really, most RG unis don't like business and economics, thus you're chance of getting in is impaired heavily

List the Russell groups and what course.

Alright, these are for all courses btw just a blanket no:
Warwick
Cambridge
Oxford
LSE
Edinburgh
Bath
I'm not going to continue - it's a waste of time
