I'm currently in year 11 and well, I'm good at maths and when I'm older I want to do something with business, finance. And work my way up etc.
How are these courses for college? :
Business Studies
Accounts
Law
Maths
Further Maths
Thanks for all replies

Yes, to you maybe, not to everyone.
Usually 5 would be a lot of work, and time consuming, but if you're good at maths and further maths, that won't be a problem, and the other three are good for going in to that type of career... So yeah those 5 would be a solid combo which will definitely be required in many Unis.

I'd personally pack in the Law or Accounting for Economics, Economics is looked upon more highly by Universitys, it'll be more challenging but it's meant to be very useful and enjoyable once it gets going.
Ditch business studies. None of the respectable unis accept it as a valid A-level. Do economics.

Hmmm, I wouldn't do law or business studies. If you do well in Maths and Further Maths then I'll take my hat off to you, I wouldn't even dare.

From what I have seen, Maths depends on your dedication. A lot of work needs to be done in order to make sure you have a good solid understanding. You do things like standard deviation, a competely new grade of probability and the likes.
Further Maths, in the first year, does everything the normal Maths A-level covers in two years. So in further Maths you have to move on rather quickly as you cover twice as much.
