A-level subject combination advice.

I wish to do business, sociology and history, would that be okay? would this be a good subject combo? Otherwise, I hope to do Law or Literature, please can someone tip me on which combination would be better?

I heard that its better to do one essay writing subject, rather then two.
law doesn't have any subject requirements.

Is there any chance that you might want to study an English degree?
That’s the only subject that the second combination would open up that the first wouldn’t work for.

Good for what? It will be fine to study law at uni (I'm not sure there is a combination which isn't fine). If you want to study Eng Lit at uni, it would be unusual not to study Eng Lit A level and you would need to check the websites for universities you might want to apply for to see whether it is in fact a requirement. If it is, then three different A levels would not be okay - it would be an instant rejection.
For any sort of English degree you will need A level English.
Business isnt crucial for any degree so even if you are undecided about future Uni choices, English might be a better choice.
I know someone who did the exact same combination and so they probably work well together
I did sociology and business and they definitely go well together
Happy to answer any questions about either of these subjects
