I took the wrong A levels. Will taking an extra AS level help?

I am in Y12 and taking Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Photography. I wanted to switch from Maths to Religious Studies so I could have a Humanities subject but left it too late. If I sign up to take an AS level in History or English Lit, would any university consider me for one of the humanities degrees?

i would say drop further maths and pick up an as level in either of those two. further maths itself is incredibly difficult, and time-consuming. to help supplement your uni applications, consider entering essays or joining clubs related to your career choice. if you can take an as level further maths in year 12 and pick up history or english lit in year 13 I would say do that
