yea, if you intend to read law in the future, it would be good to take law at A levels tho not required. It'll give you a slight insight into law and I would think your combination is fine. Taking law at A levels would only prove disadvantageous if you go on and do med or engineering or something unrelated but otherwise it's fine imo.
Thank you for the advice. [: I spoke to a law lecturer in HELP University College & she told me law was an alright subject, though she had difficulties teaching some students in the sense that they slacked thinking that A levels Law & first year law is similar & thus they started slacking.
Spoke to my cousin studying in KCL & she said she applied to a bunch of universities & as far as she knows only LSE BL'd Law.

English Lit and Econs are both 'tough' subjects. Law is regarded as a 'soft' subject by some of the top English unis (LSE has even blacklisted it). I believe Accounting is also considered 'soft', but don't quote me on that one.
Seems like 2 hard and 1 (or 2) soft is acceptable for entry into the top unis, provided you get the results. But you need to do some research. Try this
forum. It's for Brit students, but it'll give you a good idea.
Yeah, looked around & cross-checked a few lists & accounts is indeed quite "soft".
About two lists had categorized accounts as "only suitable for 4th subject". Ugh.
Either way I'm lucky I read your post before confirming my subjects.
I'll be switching to Mathematics instead. 3 hard & 1 soft "limited suitability" subject, that should be enough.

Added on December 7, 2009, 10:14 pmconsider physics or something. You'll be surprised that they tend to prefer such subjects for entry into under grad law these days.
:-)
Yeah, I've heard about that as well.
Since Science subjects teach students to be more analytical etc, but to be quite honest I'm sick of learning and memorizing science related info at secondary level!
I'm just trying to find a balance between subjects that are traditionally accepted & playing to my strengths. :[
Which is quite hard. I like the sound of Philosophy, went through some of the online revision notes of it, and even though its one of the "hardest" subjects out there, it sounds like something I'd enjoy. I haven't found a college that offers it as a subject locally though. :[
I'll be attending HUC jan intake, & they offer 10 subjects for a levels, 5 Arts & 5 Science: Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chem, Bio, Accounts, Econs, Law, Eng Lit, & Applied ICT.
I know I won't be taking any of the three SC subjects lest I want to get a bad grade in them, & out of the 5 Arts subjects 3 are considered soft. :[ Eliminating subjects here & there I'm left with Maths.
