further maths at what level. i am statrting my A-level maths in september. was going to do further maths too but then it would be too much work.

I don't know, haven't decided what I am going to drop for A-Level yet.

i meant i am starting my AS in september. i was going to take maths, ICT economics, and further maths then i realised that they were all hard courses. so i dropped furth. maths for Media Studies. do maths at Uni the government will give you lots of help ££££££

Economics = Much harder than most think.

prob is but i love it. been intrested in the stock market, commodities ,intrest rates and all that since the age of 12. i am constantly thinking of ways to try and con people so Economics is a step in the right direction

I understand this, but you didnt explain it right at the start,
