AH maths or H admin

I would like to go into a financial degree apprenticeship at EY/Morgan Stanley/ Barclays are one I’m looking at most require BBBB. However I still cannot decide if I should do AH maths or H admin since there in the same columns I’m also doing AH comp, NPA in game dev and marketing and then sport and rec and I’ve asked for econ next year. This year I’ve got Accounts, business, computing, maths and English predicted all As. so what should I pick AH maths or H admin I just feel admin would make the year too easy.

what is your higher grades if i may ask. If you got few As and little higher than the minimum requirement - youre at a comfortable position. but if you got more towards the minimum requirement then - you should do subject that will give you a competetive edge.

Higher admin is not bad but comparitively advanced higher math seems more beneficial- firstly math is core stem subjects its highly valued by most stem course and is way more valuable than other additional stem subjects.
And on top of that its advaced higher so its very beneficial and higher than higher. Math itself is more beneficial for uni but advanced higher makes it way more beneficial and valuable

so conclusively, My analysis conclude PICK ADAVNCED HIGHER MATH-its way more beneficial than higher admin for the course youre planning to do at uni.

you should be very fine. satistically there is one grade downgarde from nat5-higher people that gets a grade A in nat5 get B in higher.
You should get Bs if you put in the effort.

Choose advanced higher math - or actually as a matter of fact- aim for like 3 grade A in higher or more and you can go to uni to do the course you wanted straight away after S5- its a potential possibility and even if not just take few highers in S6 which should be enough.

If you currently find the math course too easy, absolutely pick advanced higher maths. The concepts aren’t too difficult either and mainly expands on what you already know from higher + a few additional topics.

im currently s6 and i'm doing AH maths and H admin!!
the maths course isnt that bad, its a big jump from higher in the amount of content, however the actual content isnt that difficult. i enjoyed the AH course much more than the higher course
AH is mainly calculus so if you are good at higher integration and differentiation you should be fine!

admin on the other hand... its so bad icl
i find it SO boring and i dread it everyday, the course drags so much
i suppose if you're doing finance the spreadsheets you learn in admin can be quite useful, but its not anything difficult and you will be taught it anyway in uni

how do you find higher business?? the admin theory is quite similar to business
