@@dan._.5720 ohhh right that does make a lot of sense! thank you so much for the clarification!

Read articles on the financial times. super helpful.

maths, econ and geography :)

yep this is a great start!

id say i found first year kinda intense and surprisingly second year less so. but it’s more the content that gets harder as you go up rather than work (from what it seems) and then trying to digest that content takes you longer. in terms of a levels, the content was mostly understandable after a bit of practice whereas i’d sat at uni you have to work at it more to fully get it

that sounds pretty good yes! not necessarily having a moral of the story but having a key theme, you’re right :) if you’ve got tik tok i’ve got way more videos there!

unfortunately not, but actually it depends more module to module. so in year 1 i had a reading week for my geography module but nothing for my maths, stats, econ and accounting modules. it’s usually the humanities students that have reading weeks

@@AddittiAgrawal ok, thanks! Typical, I’m studying maths + econ there this year

yeah no, i don’t see a reading week for you then 😭

@@AddittiAgrawal 😔

just this year because of covid !

Maths, Economics and Geography :)

@@AddittiAgrawal thank you!! I’m doing Econ, maths, business and Accounting. I was wondering if you know anyone that did A level Accounting that’s on your course and if it helped them? I’ll be applying soon for entry next year.

yep some of my friends from Malaysia and India did and they said it definitely helped! But if you’re in the UK, be careful because it may be considered as a ‘soft’ subject, as may Business. Look up ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ subjects if you’re unsure of what they are :)

@@AddittiAgrawal thank you :)

i did maths, econ and geography :)

@@AddittiAgrawal okay thanks...Do you think business A-level is good for this degree??

i think business is considered to be a ‘soft’ subject by universities so it may decrease your chances a little

@@AddittiAgrawal so Which subjects do think is better?

And is it good to take a language like french or Spanish?
