hi guys, for the course I really wanna pursue in uni, it requires maths and further maths, furthermore i really love economics and im doing well in ig add math rn, but for my 4th subject as i cant take 3 (if fm is there), im confused between cs/physics/business. CS is a subject which im strong at and its defo something i have aced in igcse without trying, Physics i dont like as much but its defo rigor and helps in uni to say you've done it. cs also does help for data science addition to courses (but not crazily). bst is a filler and a easy one i can take as a 4th subject but i honestly HATE ig business i hate making notes and practicing its the most boring ever. what do you think i should do?

economics and mathematics

#

umm

#

dont take business

#

You could choose cs

#

but if you want a challenge physics works too

#

but choose something you're good at so its easier

drowsy flicker but if you want a challenge physics works too

physics also overlaps alot on maths and furhter

#

further if u take mechanics

#

which might make it easier

#

hmmm. right but i wanna do s1/s2 cause its really helpful for eco in uni

#

will cs be a lot of extra workload was my question

#

because it is a heavy subject and i only need python prokects to really use it in uni which i am alreayd doing

#

#

idk physics is considered the toughest a levels but my teacher says its rekatively easy

#

u shuld take physics

#

with cs youll only be bound to one field and youll have verrrrrry limited options and homelessness

#

and then youll regret it

#

WITH physics tho u can go both cs and engineering side without having to take cs

#

so id def recon physics

#

and plus mostly for cs you need programming

#

and which is that you literallly learn programming urself without taking cs

#

so what i would do in ur place

#

would be take physics instead and as sidequests in free time learn python or java or c+ or whatever language
