Hi @isobel10 ,

I can see you have a range of subjects, which is good. As you are unsure about your future, I feel like you have a good variety.

Maths is a good subject if you choose to go into a STEM-related field. However, you may be limited if you choose to go down a science route, as they typically ask for two sciences, where Maths can be considered one science, and another is needed.

Psychology is a good social science course if you are considering Law, Psychology, Criminology, etc.
History is also a good option for courses like Law.

The EPQ should provide you with some skill sets in writing styles and may even allow for a contextual offer if you choose to further your education.

Overall, I think as long as you have A-level options you enjoy and will hopefully do well in, that's the most important thing. The only courses that require a little more thought with your options would be Medicine-related and/or science-related courses.

I hope I manged to help, good luck with your future!
