Your choices are fine then. I'd recommend you check the entry requirements for the unis you are thinking of applying to and consider if you really need to do four.

You dont need 4. Universities are used to students taking Maths in year 12 and further Maths in year 13. It is fairly common. Also for a few universities they will be looking for you to take an additional Maths exam such as STEP and make offers based on those results.

If you want to do more Math I would think adding Physics and/or Computer science instead would be better, a lot of the skills intertwine with each other. But, I mean English Literature sure but English Lit and English Language too??? I want to hear more about ...Why?

Yeah, I like the other person's idea of Economics! No science stuff, but still juicy math stuff that can be used in the real world.

I accidentally quoted myself, didn't mean to take credit lol. I was saying I like this idea.
maths, fm (/and physics) and a humanities subject is actually not that weird. I know quite a lot of people who did English/RS/History as a fourth subject instead of a science. Fewer that didn't do a science as their third but fair enough.

If you want to go to uni, you're basically narrowing in on doing maths or English, or something adjacent like computer science, though.

Ok this thread is 3 months old, oops.
