I'm quite stuck on what my fourth subject should be, and what to drop at A2?

What are you actually planning to study at University? This is quite important for answering the question! If you're planning to do a Law or Journalism degree, then I would suggest History. Yes, it would add more stress but plenty of people taking multiple essay subjects and History is very well respected and has a lot of transferable skills. Psychology and particularly Law are not as well regarded at A Level. If you're intending to go into Finance, I would strongly consider sticking with Further Maths. If the Maths burden is too much for you at this level, you need to seriously consider if Finance is the right path for you. You could always take 5 AS Levels including Further Maths and drop it if it gets too hard, although this is an even bigger potential burden so this may not be the best route for you.

You've got a year to decide which subject to drop at A2, so don't worry about that yet.

Your 'main' subjects being maths English and econ are fine enough to get into law / business / and majority finance courses as it is

Not sure about Law, but psychology has a few 'mini' essays for AS but mainly short answers. It's a time consuming subject (I did near enough the same subjects as you) and psychology took the most of my time. That being said it's probably the easiest subject in terms of what it can ask you

Like I said before, I'm not quite sure whether to take Further Maths, as I know how hard it is. I'm currently achieving A's in Maths and the rest of my subjects so they're not a bother. But what is, is the fact whether I'll be able to cope with Further Maths.
I'm completely open-minded about possible career routes so it doesn't bother me. From the information I've read from previous threads. Law isn't considered a 'facilitating subject' (according to the Russell Group Uni's) and choosing Law would put me at a disadvantage I guess.

Yeah, I'd probably drop the subject I do least well in to be quite honest.

Cheers!

Being "completely open-minded" about your future isn't the best position to be in when you're choosing your A Level subjects. You really need to have an idea of what area you're going to do your degree in - choosing subjects for the sake of keeping your options open because you're indecisive is not a good idea. Another thing worth mentioning is that Further Maths isn't much more difficult than Maths - it's just more Maths. If you can do well at Maths, you'll do well at Further Maths. As long as you enjoy Maths.
