Philosophy is incredibly difficult, do not underestimate it. And it's looked on highly by unis Psychology A2 is hard, AS is considered 'soft', but still worth doing, and most unis wouldn't judge you for it.
Well phil eng lit and history are based around reading and comprehension which is what a lawyer is supposed to be good at. Psychology ... I guess its more or a scientific subject... its an option

Okay thank you. Also some people have suggested doing maths but I am not sure if I could do very well in it. If I get an A* in my GCSE do you think I will be good enough. Do you think having no maths or science will hold me back?

no, an A* at gcse is not a reliable indicator of how you will perform at a level
not really, there's no set subjects for law (someone from my school did maths/science subjects and got in) but it would probably be useful to take essay subjects
I want to study Law and I soon need to pick A Levels. I was thinking: English Lit History Psychology Philosophy
Is philosophy and psychology considered easy? Also how is gov and politics thought of?
Hi, I did english lit/lang (mixed course), classical civilisation (sort of ancient history/ancient lit) and philosophy. Psychology was my extra AS level. I got offers from UCL, Warwick, Nottingham, Southampton and Sheffield. So, those subjects will be fine don't take maths if you feel you will struggle, the best thing is for you to take subjects you feel you can do well in. It will be better for you to get an A in psych than a B/C in maths, because that will limit your uni choices.

Thanks for your help and congratulations on your offers.

GCSEs are not a good way to tell. I went from A at GCSE to B at AS, but I know plenty of people who went from A* at GCSE to U at AS.
Having no maths or science is fine, as long as you've got good essay subjects instead. Your current choices only have one facilitating subject (edit: sorry didn't see history there, you have two), but to my knowledge none are heavily looked down on.

Don't do maths if you have any doubt at all about if it would be a struggle - it's HARD! It's best to do the subjects you enjoy and get a good grade in them, than do a 'respected' subject and hate it.
