i dont really care what others think if it doesn't align with my beliefs or contradicts common sense

Maths, sure. But why do Further Maths for Law... zero sense. People should only do FM if they like Maths (to the extent that they would want to do a Maths degree up to Master's level, but instead do Law because the only thing they enjoy more than Maths or see a future in is practicing Law).

A lot of people who did Science, Engineering, Computer Science, Actuarial Studies didn't do Further Maths.

Lolz I'm pursuing Accounting & Finance and I took FM. Nothing wrong in taking whatever you like or think will assist you in your applications as long as you can justify it in your personal statement. Just my 2 cents.

I am able to do Science Stream in A Level but after that I may switch to Law degree. According to the informations I get from Internet. There is no fixed subjects in doing Law degree in A Level. A student who takes Law degree must be suffered in studying futher maths and chemistry. Then doing Law degree may have advantages. So, my question is doing science stream or art stream before doing Law degree? Is it advicable to do that? I think some people may think I am stupid since you can be relaxing in doing A Level and why do I want to do this suffering.

There are no fixed subjects to take during A Levels if you intend to pursue a Law degree in university. You may choose to do Science subjects, or take Arts subjects, but the general trend for students (as far as i see) is to take Arts subjects, because:

1. they're more relevant
2. the subjects are more towards subjective thinking, crictical thinking and reasoning which will prepare you better for the Law degree you intend to pursue.
3. they don't like sciences tongue.gif

Anyway, no harm doing Science subjects, but you'll have to justify how these subjects prepared you for your Law degree in your personal statement. At the same time, do check out the requirements on university websites which you wish to apply to see whether they may require you to take arts subjects.
