    Do you need any knowledge from the JC course in order to understand the LC course? I might do it for the LC and i'm wondering if it's okay as I didn't do it for JC. Also, how hard would the course be? Would someone who is decent at maths and can theory well off(like science) be good at this subject?

    Thanks! :D

    Nope, I took it up this year too. :)

    While JC Business would be a help, it's definitely not necessary.

    I've only had a few business classes, but so far I absolutely love it!
    It's such a nice subject, 100% of it is just learning theory.
    An A1 is a possibility for anyone, and a lot of it is common sense too, just learn your notes and you'll have no problem.

    Not a lot of maths in it though, just some basic business maths - no accounts or anything.
    However, taking up accounting or economics would be harder without doing jc business or at least having an interest in the subject, so call me biased but I'd consider business the easiest of the three. (I did accounting & economics during TY)

    nah they aren't really related at all!
    I think you should try it , i think its a middle subject,not too easy as there is so much theory to learn off but at the same time not too hard as you just have to learn it and not much understanding is involved.
    maths won't really help as there is hardly any maths ,only ratios ,a few calculations which can be done with a calculator but if you can learn theory well you should do well in business!
