So we've just been asked to do our preliminary options for A-Level. I chose Maths, Further Maths, Physics and German, and now I'm worried Physics might be too much. I might do Chemistry instead.
Which subject would you say will give me more opportunities in the future?

Further Maths isn't really necessary at A level unless you want to do Maths at university, in my opinion. Languages are always nice when you're applying for things, as it makes your skills broader and is something 'interesting'. In your position, I'd probably keep those subjects and then drop Further Maths after the first year.

Thing is, we have to do full A-Levels from next year, so we can't drop any of the subjects. And I don't mind doing Further Maths. It's mainly the Physics/Chemistry that I'm worried about - lots of people say Physics is very hard, and I'm hoping it'll be worth it, since I might want to do something related to Maths or Physics.

Depends on what you want to do at uni
Further Maths is good if you like maths
Physics involves maths, especially mechanics -

the difficulty of further maths depends on the modules you pick. if you do all the mechanics modules then it'll be insanely difficult, however if you do S1-S4 and D1-D2 it will be easier.
