Help with A-Level choices

I'm going into sixth form this September and have applied for Biology, Psychology, Geography and Economics but I want to change economics to something else but I'm not sure what.

First of all, are these good A-Level subjects and do they go well together? I have read that biology and geography are counted as facilitating subjects by Russell universities.

Second, I was thinking of changing economics to chemistry but I know from others experiences that it is very hard so what could I take rather than chemistry that would go well with the subjects I have picked?

Sociology would definitely go well with the Psychology if you want.

I would honestly tell you right now that do not subjects that you do not like or there is a chance that you wont like them. I have just finished my first year and I did chemistry, biology, English language and media

When I did my GCSE's I loved all these and I got A in science and B in English and A in media. However A level Science is extremely harder then GCSE and the first year of biology is very very hard and boring and because I also did chemistry it is a lot to take in.

I would say do a subject that you are passionate about do not just do subjects because they look good at uni's my friend is going to a Russle group and they did Media, Phycology and English Lit so trust me when I say it's not all about the subject.
