<br />Hi eveyone!
I'm a student about to do my GCSE exam. I'm stong at maths and also have great interest in business studies. Therefore is Actuary the right job for me?
I have chosen the following subjects for my A level Mathematics, Further Mathematics (AS only), Economics, Business Studies and Physics.
If i want to be an Actuary is the subjects above relevent? or should I take more Sciences subject to get into better Uni?

The more maths you do at A Level the more smoother the transition between college and university becomes. Therefore, it is worthwhile doing the A Level Further Mathematics. Business Study or Economics wouldn't make much of the difference but try to take as many Stats module in your Maths as possible. Actuarial Science is about Stats rather than Maths.
Doing Maths, F Maths and Economics as A Levels would keep your options open when you'll be applying for university - a good choice at your age.
