What is the most useful A Level?

Even though i don't do it myself, its got to be a foreign language. If you can speak French/German/Spanish etc, it could be a massive help in your job prospects!

Very true, you have no idea how many normal distribution curves I have to draw during my work as a receptionist. :P
I did qualify it with almost. You could use it to efficiently determine how much space on your paper you use to doodle.

Does English literature not teach you to read the OP.
Literature helps you develops essay writing skills from experienced to professional. It also helps you make logical arguments, a skill I'm sure you could use.

THIS.
For me, Maths, because I will be doing engineering in Uni.
And also because it has quite a different range of topics to choose from - statistics, mechanics, pure maths etc.

Maths is just so useful and is key to so many degrees. No other subject is so key to so many aspects of modern life.
Maths. And further Maths as well if you are applying for courses at top unis for Physics, Economics and other relevant courses.

Psychology in my opinion. Once you begin to understand why people are the way they are, it changes the way you look at the world and yourself.
This is so true! I literally find myself analysing people/situations daily based on my A-level Psychology knowledge, it's crazy
I can see me getting a lot hate and negs for this, but the best is Leisure Studies.
Reasoning being that it teaches the before, during and after jobs. It teaches you how to act in interviews etc. It applies to everyday life, and I know that you are not going to agree but don't knock it until you've done it.

THIS.
The next person to "THIS" something gets their rectum broke in by Mandingo.
Economics. I didn't think I would like it at first, but it helps understanding what is happening with the financial world and why they do certain things, and when it comes to revising, it is easier because you can actually see the concepts you've learnt being applied in real life
Languages, surely?
As someone else has said, History is really helpful in that it improves written communication, writing concisely and expanding vocab. It's also useful to have a greater knowledge of past events, and can even increase political awareness, depending on which topics you study.
It's a highly regarded A Level, but for life in general it might not be the most useful, but definitely one of them.

Haha, without a doubt I'd be searching towards the top end of my distribution table. I'm a bad receptionist. xD

Yes maybe I should have taken it. Then my logic would be as great as yours (I can dream).
