What are your future plans?
Comparing the two, Economics is easier than Biology. But if you are planning to go into medicine, you CANNOT do that without having Biology.

oh... I always found biology easier to digest. My sis did eco, i looked over her notes and compared them with some biology notes. Those eco terms just baffled me, it seemed dat for tests i would likely have to cram "laws" that were made by humans. N these laws cud change at any given time, given it's more finance related. Nature's laws, like natural selection, seemed more stable n more appealing...atleast now i understand the existence of medicines, no matter how bitter they can be. Just my thoughts...

You are welcome, Silent_Hunter :D
Take both if you are unsure about what you want to do at university, and want to keep your options open!

biology is some hard business as i am studying in alevel so i know it, u need to study with interest. Economics is a comparatively easy subject.No comparison between these two. Depends on your interest and career planing which subject suits you more.

yes as compared to other subjects i would prefer to read bio. some chapters are very interesting caz you get know about complexity of your body and the nature around you. So i think it would fascinate anyone who reads biology. But the difficulty level is double as compared to o level bio. no its not very complex. its comprehensible if you put effort. some chapters are hard like atp and nuclear division, biological molecules...

I find AS bio easier than O level bio...mainly because ur not jst given a bunch of info n expected to understand n recall it but rather u also get information like how n why it happens... the practical skills help a lot in real life.
