Economics Or Business Studies???

[fh1992]

ppl i wil be startin AS level and im confused in these two subjects...i havent done any of these in O levels...and want an extra subj...please let me know which is a better choice???

 

[UxaiR]

Business studies is an easy subject compared to ecnomics
as you dont have any O-level background in these subjects i would recomend you to study Business studies as it would be easy for you to handle it

 

[mzzzz]

economics has more credits than business studies
and is more interesting
besides, econ is really ez to manage evn wid no business subjects background

 

[Axa saleem]

that purely depends on ur interest, but if you want it as an extra subject Business studies is a comparatively lighter subject.

 

[mzzzz]

econ and business studies require similar interests
and business studies is more of cramming which is boring fr most sane minds

 

[OakMoon!]

I would advice Economics. Its one of the major subjects of Alevels. And it has a lot of credit. And keeping it as an extra subject will increase the credibility of ur overall result.

 

[UxaiR]

altough ecnomics is given more credit ,, we should not be forget that it's not at all an easy subject moreover it would be more difficult for a person who dont have made his basics in O-level

the notion that to do well in alvl econ u need to hv background in econ is a myth
alvl econ starts frm scratch

can anyone translate :shock:

 

[Axa saleem]

he means to say that the people who say for going good in A level economics u need to have an economics background previously are wrong. The A level economics start from the beginning without previous concepts.

Thank you, Axa.

same here fh1992 but i opted for economics, and i am studying it in vacations it is intersting and not so difficult. if u study and devlop interest then it bcmz very easy ...and u can opt further for bussiness field by taking this important subject so i would prefer taking economics....

 

[aristotle]

I am also going for economics instead of b.s ..so what books (2 or 3) would i require to grapple with the entire syllabus adequately ?

 

[UxaiR]

Book Bamford along with pastpapers + marking schmes + examiner reports

 

[mzzzz]

bamford is good
but i tend to rely on teacherz notes

 

[UxaiR]

yeah notes of imran latif are awsome perfect to get an A

 

[mzzzz]

True, that.

 

[fh1992]
