Difficulty of my A-level choices?

So, my early entry results and GCSE predicted grades were confirmed last week. Therefore, these are my predicted grades:

Mathematics: A* (Achieved)
English Language: A
English Literature: A
Biology:A
Chemistry:A
Physics: A*
French: A
History:A
Music: A*
IT: A
Religious Studies: B (achieved)

This gives a total of: 3A*'s 7A's 1B

My A-level choices will be

Maths, Further Maths and physics.

I believe the units for maths are as follows:

Maths: Core 1 - 4, Statistics 1 and Mechanics 1
Further Maths: FP1, FP2, M2, S2, M3, D1
Physics: OCR

Can someone roughly tell me how difficult they think I will find these modules judging from my predicted GCSEs. Essentially the grades I need will be: A* A A. Do you think it is possible for me to achieve this?

Also, I will be doing the whole of Maths at the end of year 1, and then the whole of FM and physics at the end of year 2 (as physics is going linear from 2015).

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

From what I heard from the FM folks at my school, M3 is horrible. But at least you're taking D1 instead of FP3 which is what is offered at my school.

If you get good A*s for Maths and Physics, you should be in a good position to get A*AA at A Level. While all three of the subjects are very difficult, they all support each other so in a way they all make each other easier. You also don't have to write any essays, which is one heck of an advantage.
