Choosing well

How to pick a combination at ACS(I)

Economics is worth a serious look in almost any combination. It is recognised across business, the social sciences, law and public policy, it pairs naturally with both the sciences and the humanities, and it can be picked up fresh in JC even if you did not take it at O Level. Because ACS(I) offers the IB Diploma, the A Level rank point system and our rank point calculator do not apply here; the IB is scored out of 45. Our grading guide covers the A Level side if you are comparing pathways.
