I'm currently a Year 11, and i'll be choosing my A-Level Options really soon! I know I want to do History and Philosophy A-Level, however, i'm not sure whether to do A-Level Psychology or English Literature to complete my options? I've heard mixed opinions about both A-Levels, so i'm quite confused which one to pick?
If it helps, I want to do History at University

As an aside, you could consider doing A level Religious Studies instead of Philosophy. I always encourage this to students because it's much, much easier all the while being extremely interesting. Most of it really is common sense. It has a lot of philosophy in it as well (ethics and morality) and, in fact, it usually goes by the name of A level Religious Studies and Ethics.
I'd highly encourage RS just because of how poorly so many students do in Philosophy and how much easier RS is.

do what you enjoy more as it doesn't really matter. I found that English and History fitted well together but it wasn't that important. Both Psychology and English Lit get you to understand yourself a lot more which I found really helpful. English is more of a skill that you refine over time, whereas Psychology is purely just memory. English you do more essays whereas Psychology have more science style papers (from 1 mark to 16 mark questions)- both require the same effort I would say (as would any A level). If you choose something you enjoy then you'll do better as you put more effort in As long as you have a history a level then uni's don't mind about your other subjects
