Hey @student9301,

I studied CCEA Chemistry, Art, Economics and English Literature at A-Level. If you intend to study something along the lines of economics or actuarial science at uni, Maths and Physics are strong choices as Maths will likely be the main subject requirement for the courses you're looking at.

If your school doesn't offer Economics at A-Level, Sociology or Business would be a useful third choice as they're both essay subjects with some cross-over to Economics. However, make sure to have a look at the CCEA specifications for each of these subjects to make sure the content is of interest.

Hope this helps and best of luck with your choices,
Eve (Kingston Rep).
