5 A-levels is alot of work, but it is doable. You have to be very motivated though and work alot in your spare time though.

Out of those 5, drop drama for sure if you can, it's the least respected.

I'd personally say drop english literature since philosophy can be tied into physics and especially maths! Phyics/maths and philosophy joint degrees are available at alot of institutions

Be careful about what you want to do though, some natural science programs require 3 science & maths A-levels, and having 3 or more science/maths A-levels is very common among people applying for science degrees.

Try to get a firm idea on what you would really want to study in the long term before choosing your a-levels. A fair amount of people have 3 relevant a-levels to the degree, and a 4th somewhat unrelated a-level. But some people go for the glory and have 4 solid A-levels relevant to study.

eg Engineering degree with maths, physics, chemistry, and sociology a-levels
