Thanks Amit

id say law..

politics is meant to be extremly hard

[mangle]

I'd take Politics

If you ever wish to be a lawyer (sp?) you can't have a level law. Philosphy isn't taken as a "proper A level" by cambridge or something :)

well, at our college, they combine business and economics so see if thats an option lol.

also, i am doing 4 a levels and it is quite a lot of work with little free time so i would reconsider taking 5. as for the subjects, law is more useful to you than any other

Cheers guys for the replys so far, what does the (sp)? mean and why is philisophy nt considered has a a-level?

I'm doing AS Law at the momment, and imo its extreamly easy. All you have to do is learn the theory then copy it down onto paper. I might consider doing AS Politics next year though.

(Sp?) means the poster is unsure of the spelling of a word :)

Thats a lie. I asked my Law teacher that and she said its just a pathetic rumour. She said she was told that when she was doing her A Levels.

BecauseI want more Qulifications and I couldn't decide out of my 4 previous A-Levels but I might just take 4, and leave Law out, its got hardly anything to do with Business and Finance but I don't know yet!

hey, i'm currently doing:

AS levels in maths/accounts/economics/physics and also considering career in business - maybe accountancy apprenticeship when i leave college.

i'd say if your wanting to do something business related maybe choose something different like maybe a science or Law or ICT - 99% of businesses are ran on computes now,, because if all does not go well you've got a broader spectrum of subjects, although i think 4 A levels will be enough because universities only need 3 usually / and jobs usually expect 3 A levels. you could also see if the college does a certificate in finance, which is just something extra that i might taking in the second year.

hope this helps, feel free to pm me with any qs :)

Well do you plan on getting into a top university or a normal one? If it's a top one then Politics because then you'll have that with Economics and Maths to look impressive. Law and philosophy are seen as "easy" A levels.

If you go onto law school having an A-Level in law doesn't really stand you much ground. they don't really care about it.
