As much maths as possible, physics. If your school do some sort of computing option then maybe that, but I wouldn't bother with I.T. because it's completely different.

I.C.T, Maths, and Physics in my opinion. Double check with your teachers.

Pick Maths. Don't pick ICT which is seen as a soft subject. If you have to pick IT then choose computer science which deals with the nuts and bolts inside a computer.

Do as much maths as possible, ie maths, further maths.

Probably I'd do Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry (with computing if you can stand the workload)

Good Luck.
