Sorry for one of these threads again.
Maths
Biology
Politics
ICT
Or are they to weak?
But here is my problem. I'm doing ICT AS level and I' in year 11, so when J apply they will say "why did you only get a B?", and if I do it next year I could improve.

Yes.
Depends on the subject though.
Also I don't know what the obsession with 'Russel group' is. -

Do you want to do a degree that suits you, or just any degree at a Russel Group university? If it's the latter, you should seriously reconsider how much a degree will benefit you. -

Don't do ICT. If you have the option, Computing is a lot better. A different A Level to either would be fine, but ICT is considered soft by top unis.

I'd like to do either a Biology, Computer Science or Politics degree.
For a Biology degree, Chemistry might be a good option; for Computer Science, Further Maths and/or Physics; for Politics, English Lit/History.
None of them are required though. Just look up the courses you're interested in on university websites, and choose what you think will benefit you the most. Perhaps most important is how much you will enjoy each A level, and I can't help you with that. -

But I did AS level ICT in year 11 and got a B, now I'm older I could probably improve that. And a B wouldn't look that good. -

I managed to get into a Russell Group University for a really competitive course with ICT A-Level! -

Yeah and what makes it hard is the terrible course which is so vague. Also the exams rest solely on the final question which is like a 1/3 of the overall mark. This is for AQA though who are a crap exam board. :'(
If your answer is not practically word for word whats on the Mark Scheme then you get 0 marks. -

Hmmm I think its slightly different for us, we do WJEC ICT and its actually quite a good course, but the marking is so strict its stupidly annoying.
