A level confusion

I'm not sure but a lot of my friends have enjoyed philosophy a-level
Hard but work hard and keep on track and you'll secure a good grade
Law is softer imo and less useful
Psychology, Biology (get rid of human biology asap please), Sociology, Maths and then other general degrees, though for maths your restricting yourself by not having further maths so I would only do it at uni if you have passion for it

Biology is far more better than Human Biology and is respected more highly by universities.
Physics A Level is HAAARD.
I'd say Law is a better option.

Just look at the syllabus of the subjects you're interested, speak to the teachers, and do those which look the most interesting to you. That's all which matters because you'll do best in the subjects you find most interesting.

A Levels are all a jump from their GCSE equivalents but none are "easy" they just vary in the type of learning you require to do well in the exams (A Levels are, unfortunately, largely a big test of passing exams and not understanding of subjects).

I really do understand that no A levels are easy it's just some soft subject seem to be easier then other (from things I have read) I did look at the syllabus and units that will be covered that's why I chose human biology over biology

If I were you I would listen to the above comments saying do Biology, not Human Biology

Maths is a good one, and quite important in my opinion no matter what you want to do SO KEEP IT

How are you at English Literature? That could be a nice substitute to Psychology?

A level Physics is hard, but isn't that the point? I hated GCSE maths because it was so easy and providing i didnt make a stupid mental maths error i would get everything right! I enjoy A level maths because it is getting harder (could be harder still but oh well) so the same should apply for physics? I would do it if you find it interesting (read the contents of a revision guide and see if you have interest to start reading. If you do, then Physics is right for you!

History is a more respected option than Sociology also. It depends on the route you want to go into.

And of course Languages are always good! They are respected subjects for uni and favoured by employers (you never know where your career will take you!)

So if you wanted to do a science or psychology at uni I would do Maths Physics Biology Language/Psychology (probably edge towards language tbh)

and if you wanted an art like History or Law or something I would do Maths Philosophy Language History/Eng Lit (i would do history coz im better at it and i prefer it, but they are both the same in terms of use tbh)

Hope it helps (this could be the longest post ive written )

People confuse "soft" for "less rigid and mathematical".

Just do what's interesting and don't worry/over-think it all nothing else matters (bar doing as well as possible of course :P )

I think it depends on what you want to go into. I have chosen psychology, sociology, biology and history, and I want to go into psychology. I feel like these subjects are good for me personally even if psychology and sociology are 'soft' because they link well to what I'd like to do and I also have two 'harder' subjects thrown in there too. However if you're not really considering a future where sociology would be that helpful, I'd go for history as it is interesting and well respected.

I really don't mind doing psychology and sociology together like you said 2 tradition and 2 soft to balance it out but I was considering human biology a traditional subject till now I really thort universities didn't see difference in biology and human biology

So I basically chose A-level Human Biology, Psychology, Sociology and Maths.

i found physics at gcse level really easy how's A level physics like?*
which do you think is considered 'softer' psychology or law? (I don't mind ether)**
I have no idea what career or what to study after a levels can you recommend anything with my current a level choices?***
