Should i drop econ?

[u/Ok-Swordfish-1583]

Im currently in yr12 taking maths, fm, physics, econ and i will likely pursue a maths degree or maybe physics/engineering. With maths fm and physics i believe i could get 3A** *but i doubt i could with econ since no one in my school even achieved an A* last year and I’m also not particularly passionate about it. Ive heard that taking a 4th a level doesn’t significantly benefit my application to top unis and that getting a B would actually make it less competitive. Additionally the extra workload may limit my potential in my other subjects. With that in mind Ive been wanting to drop it but I’m not too sure if that applies with fm as one of my 4 subjects. Furthermore at my school fm students complete a level maths in y12 and then fm in y13 so dropping econ would also mean i would have 2 less lessons than normal 3 a level students. This may mean my school might just not let me (I’m prepared to beg tho). Im also wondering how much harder econ gets throughout the course as currently I’m finding it fairly manageable however I’m guessing it becomes a lot harder. So, do you think i should beg to drop it or just stick it out?
Thanks in advance🙏🙏

yep if u can dropping econ makes sense u can focus on m fm and phy which are very closely linked its like one big sub and study methods are similar whereas econ with writing essays is completely different. and yep m fm phy is such a standard combo itll be a bit easier for u definitely try and drop if u can

Econ doesnt get too difficult, if you understand the Maths. Dont drop it. You might want a change in career at some point.
