Want to take French for A-Level, but...

I initially wanted to do French for A-Level, (an A at GCSE, or at least so far) but I began to realize that I struggle in it in some areas. I am great at reading French text or writing things in French, but when it comes to actually speaking French and especially listening to French being spoken, I really do slip up a lot. When doing a listening exam for example, I will hear a bunch of compounded garbage (I know what the words mean individually) and since listening and speaking make up a large part of the subject, I feel that being strong in only two areas out of four would end up in me being royally screwed and probably confused as to what went wrong after doing an exam.

Pretty much my only other option is ICT, but I'm already considering Software Systems Development, (it's a new one, but not a very popular one) which is actually supposed to be a desirable subject to have for university. I also feel that doing what is essentially one A-Level that had been split in two is a huge waste of time. It's my best subject, but possibly not my best bet, even though it's my best subject (A*, but anyone can do that). Here are my choices, by the way:

SSD
Physics
Maths
French or ICT (unsure)

I guess my last option would be to take Chemistry, but other than being my 4th worst subject at GCSE (low C), I don't really enjoy it, not to mention I wouldn't see a use for it other than as a trump card for getting into university. Add that to not being within my desired career path, and there's a whole pile of doubt here.

Should I take ICT? Or should I see how I do with French? Thanks in advance.

Instead of considering ICT, I would consider taking Computing.

Just to clear things up, SSD is Computing, if not the closest thing to it.

Do you have an idea of what you want to at university?

I wanted to do something in either Physics or Programming/Software Development, but still not sure on that. Another A-Level I had in mind is German, but I'm not particularly sure how useful that'd be in the real world, considering German isn't that common of a language in the regions I was looking to work in (not to mention it would likely be the same deal as French.)

Further Maths at least to AS Level would be helpful, but that depends on how good you are at Maths.

I obviously can't speak for ICT or whatever other subjects you're considering, but I'd advise you not to disregard French unless you're absolutely sure.

Now that you mention it, I was considering being able to drop French at A2 so that if I do get better with speaking and listening (it's probably just my confidence that needs work) then I can keep it and have 4 A-Levels on record , but the thought of trying to secure a place in university with 3 A-Levels and no extra-curricular activities whatsoever is a bit scary (but you never know. I could get more involved in school stuff if it's really so important.)

Yeah, I'd love to have Further Maths, but my grades aren't quite up to standard for it (A C in Additional Maths says it all, really.)

What did you get in GCSE Maths?
