h1 econs or physics?

unclebutcher SG

i gotta drop either one due to my D for math. (must get 4 C's to continue with 4 H2)

which one is more "useless"?

Gasfene SG

econs is more useless. If you want you can study on your own. Next time if you still want to pursue a degree in economics, you can still take up. There's no need for you to have A level Econs to take up econs course at university.

As for physics, you will need it to get into some engineering and physics course at uni.

Hocklez SG

h1 physics will be use for uni admission to engineering course? i don think so right.

unclebutcher SG

maybe i should make it clear i’m not interested in engineering. i believe its quite boring…i prefer finance sector related degrees…

AMEN567889 SG

econs and physics are equally useful...lol
if i were u, i would have chosen physics. i feel that its much easier to score, very difficult to fail also. once u get the concepts right, acing it is no prob Very Happy

Darkness_hacker99 SG

You've made your point. Drop physics and keep econ. Very Happy

eagle SG

i would say appeal to keep them because you will usually do better for As

I got C for physics for my promos you know? C for econs too. But in the end, I still score well for both during A levels

eagle SG

To add on, I feel that year 2 econs is easier than year 1. In essays, or short passages, there are more rubbish to write for macro economics

Even for physics, it is only after you learn J2 physics that you really begin to understand what you studied in J1. And since you will touch on mechanics in H2 maths, it is possible to score better for physics.

unclebutcher SG

hopefully the principal allow Wink

hiphop2009 SG

keep physics.

no econs = uni still can take econs and business course. somemore your choice is wider with physics.

no physics = kiss gdbye to engineering courses.

eagle SG

you must explain properly, and give a summary of what you plan to do during the holidays and in J2 to improve your grades.

As long as it is reasonable, he should allow.

It will be of greater effect if your parents are included Laughing

ask brother paul to let you keep the 4 H2s. use your track record to show that u've done well in the past ( if you did), and that you can prove yourself at the A levels.

in my honest opinion, econs is not a particularly useful subject at A levels.

I'm doing an undergraduate course in econs, and I feel taking F Maths (old syllabus) would have been much, much more useful than A Level Econs.

If you interested in doing finance/econs/biz/accounts... take a subject you can score in... that's my opinion. since there are no academic requirements for these courses at the local unis (maybe except Maths @ A levels)... but they're grade-competitive, thus the more As the merrier.

RETARDED_MORON SG

Chemical engineering only requires H1 physics.

dragoncloud SG

Seriously…H1 econ=H2 econ…same amount of work…regretted taking only H1 econ…H1 paper=H2 paper with 2 less essay only… If you like econ then take H2
