Tough choice, Psychology is becoming rather respected as an A level but it seems like you're more of an arts type of person and combined lang and lit is more respected than lang so go for option 2.

TBH if I where an admissioner at a top 10 Russel Group university and I had a pile of applications for law you would not stand out at all with those subjects unless you had very good grades.

I know that Cambridge likes students who are a science, maths and humanities mix for law.

Finally someone else who isnt doing a science subject at A-level.
I would say do the second choice because i dont think psychology is respected enough to get into a good enough Uni. English lit is respected more that english combined so that would probably also be better i think.

I would definitely advise the second option because it means you get an idea of what studying law is like.

For law the most helpful A Levels to do are History, English Luerature. Psych is also good. However it is NOT essebtial to do Law (althoguh you will have a head start) but most uni's like teaching you afreash at degree level.

6TH FORM VS COLLEGE? go to the one that has the best pass results :smile:
