What A-level subjects should I take?

I'm at the stage where I have to start planning my college applications. Part of this means knowing what A-levels I want to take. Could someone give me any suggestions of what subjects I could consider?

I am currently doing my GCSEs. I do the following subjects:

- English Lang.
- English Lit.
- Maths
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Religious Studies
- History
- Geography
- Fine Art (not going to take art at A-level btw!)
- Russian

I am interested in history and politics, as well as languages - if that helps! Thanks x
Depends on if you have a set career in mind - but if you’re not sure, history and politics and definitely a good combo - taking a language might be good alongside these so you could carry on with Russian if you enjoy that. I’m taking English lit and religious studies at a level and really enjoying them both - but if your hearts not in it they wouldn’t be so great. RS is very different from gcse btw, but it’s still fun - depends on what exam board you would study - if you have a college in mind then you could look at what exam boards they study and see what you’d actually be studying. In the end though just take what you enjoy and you’ll be okay!
