    English Lit, Law, History and Classical Civilisation.
    No maths or science in sight thank God. Couldn't handle any more of those devil subjects.

    Chemistry biology and math for sure.

    But I'm stuck on whether to take physics or English lit as my fourth. I'm not sure I'll be able to handle English lit at A level as though im not bad at it I find it boring already. Whereas with physics I find it really interesting but I'm worse at it than eng lit.

    Any help on which I should take?

    I was on the same boat. Whatever you find more interesting will always be the better choice, since you will be more motivated to study the subject and doing better on it.

    Maths, History, English Lit, Christian Theology.

    With the latter, I'm not entirely sure what my (Catholic) sixth form are calling it, but it's Philosophy! Future PPE hopeful!

    Art and Design (or Fine Art, I guess my teachers will decide which my work falls under - Fine Art hopefully), ICT, Physics and English Language.
    Definitely dropping Physics though, so I'll have an AS in it. If I pass, that is :rolleyes:
    And I want to stay on at my college and do an Art Foundation course, and then do a Fine Art degree.

    They're similar to my choices!

    Maths, History, English Lit and Economics.

    View to read either Law or PPE at unviersity!

    Physics will definitely go hand in hand with Maths, it is a lot more Maths based at A Level than GCSE, which I wasn't entirely prepared for.
    I'm struggling in Physics purely because I'm not great at Maths at all, but I'm sure as long as you're alright with Maths and you're willing to put the work in you'll be fine.

    My school doesn't offer Economics, otherwise I'm pretty sure we'd have totally matching choices.
