I'd say do Govt. and Politics over Religious Studies and do English or a lanuguage as another one.
But I'm sure people will have better advice.

Drop Religious Studies and take... err... Law?
If you're thinking of applying to red bricks or Russell Unis don't go for Law when you can do English or a Language.

It depends where you want to go university wise; the top lot don't see Law A level as an academic A level (which is balls cos Laws a wicked A level). I reccommend History as its a "desired" A level, along with a language. But if your considering going into law, you really don't need Chemistry, take an English instead. That ll give you a good balance, Maths, English History + language. Plus Chemistry is regarded as a very difficult A level, so getting that A is harder and is not related to your chosen degree.

Note: my friend got into King's with A level Law so it isnt all that bad.

The key note is to have a minimum of two desired subject like eng, history, math ect.

Which subjects? and what uni?
Do Government and Politics. I have a friend who is now in law school and she said that the Politics knowledge was a tremendous help to her. It does make sense when you consider that politics and law are intertwined.

As for the extra A-level, I'll say English Lit/a language/History.

do religious studies instead of government and politics, i know the latter may be useful for law at university but some universities regard it as a less traditional subject.

Frater:
Warwick - Law AAA
University of East Anglia - Law with American Law AAA
York - Law AAA

I've also had an offer from the UEA for Law (without the year in the US) of AAB
