Is Government & Politics, English lit, and History a good combination of A-levels?

I’m 100% set on politics but I’m worried that with all 3 the amount of content and essays will be difficult and very time consuming. My other options would be psychology, however the teacher’s supposedly not very good so maybe not, drama, or biology which there’s also loads of content for but it’s learnt in a different way. I’m very good at drama and find the practical parts easy but the exam may be quite boring. I could also switch eng lit to lit lang which might take some pressure off the workload?
I also only started looking at history properly a few weeks ago after seeing how well it would go with politics (I do enjoy history) and I’ve heard really good things about the history department in the new school. I’m not really sure why I wanted to do English lit so badly but I guess I really enjoyed learning it during revision for GCSEs and decided after that (most of the revision I did for GCSEs wasn’t revision it was just learning from scratch because I’d struggled to concentrate due to ADHD and other factors).
I’d also like to do an EPQ.
I really don’t know what to expect for my GCSE results cause i only managed to sort my school life out quite recently but I failed half my yr 10 mocks, passed everything with 5s and 6s (except Spanish) in my year 11 mocks and I think I’m expecting 6s and 7s with a lot of revision only being done the day before for my GCSEs (obviously can’t do that for a levels but for GCSEs I didn’t really know what I was doing. I also learnt much better during solo study than in lessons which meant it was quite hard to learn in a lot of subjects). I’m now in a much better place academically and know which methods of learning and study are best for me.
If anyone has any tips or helpful comments about any of this it would be very much appreciated.

I do think that Politics, English Literature and History are a great combination but it might be smarter to mix out one of the subjects for Drama and Biology. I did three essay subjects, two of them being Literature and Politics, and although I loved doing them it wasn't always enjoyable because it was tiring.
Literature and Politics essays are quite similar as they depend on your opinion(maybe something to consider if you do decide to change subjects). I wouldn't say that English Language is much easier than Literature but I'm sure that depends on how you found it at GCSE level.
A levels in general are tiring but I feel picking one subject that is a little different, when it comes to learning, will keep you entertained and determined for the two years.
In regards with your GCSEs, you'll be alright. If you were passing in your mocks but not with the grades you wanted, whose to say there won't be any improvement. Mocks are not as representative as we'd like to imagine. When your doing your mocks you don't have the adrenaline/ nerves that you have in your actual exams. You haven't even been taught everything by then and its also practice for real thing. So again, you'll be alright.

This is definitely a good combination, and it’s probably the most common combination taken by students who go into do History, Politics, English literature degrees, and I’d say it’s good for law degrees since they usually don’t have any specific subject requirements, and all the subjects link well to law.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind. Would you be happy studying all three of these subjects for 2 years?
Would they help you achieve your goals, and get you into the degree, degree apprenticeship or job you’d enjoy?
Would you find doing only essays based subjects boring after a while?
I’ve applied to do History, Politics, Biology and chemistry starting in September since I think I’d burn out quicker if I did all stem or essay based subjects, and would like variety to keep me motivated. If this sounds like you, I’d consider taking biology. However, please keep in mind that biology is very hard at A-level, so don’t do the A-level ‘just because it’s stem’, because you really need to have a genuine interest in the subject to stay motivated whilst studying it.
Another thing to consider is what you wanna do a university. If you wanna do a history, English lit or politics degree, then this combination would be perfect. You could also take biology alongside two essay based subjects, since these degrees usually only require one subject (e.g history you need history at A-level, English you need English lit/lang etc-“
However, if your interested in doing a science based degree please keep in mind that a majority of those degrees require two stem subjects, so only having biology would not be enough to apply to those degree.
But, coming from a person who’s applied for stem and essay based subjects, and I think it really shows that your a well rounded student, so taking two essay based subjects and a science in my option is an excellent combo as long as you have a genuine interest in science.
Finally, If you are unsure what you want to do at university, I would like to suggest that you do 4 A-level likes me so you can keep your options opened. However, I understand if you don’t think you could manage the workload. I would have only picked 3 subjects if it weren’t for the fact that my top college makes you pick 4 for the first year.
I think look at some university courses you are interested in, and see what subjects are required. That might help you decide.

I’ve been trying to decide which a levels to pick all summer so don’t worry i’ve definitely asked myself those questions 😂 i’ve also looked at uni courses and i think history politics or PPE are some things i’d like to look into. I’ve decided to scrap bio for the exact reason of needing 2 stem subjects for most stem courses, and i’ll switch english to drama if the essays seem like they’d be a bit much. Thanks so much

Your welcome! I am also thinking about studying History/History and Politics at a uni!
But just a heads up, some PPE courses require or prefer maths at A-level, not all of them do, and it’s 100% still possible to do it with those subjects, just keep in mind you might not be able to apply to that course at some unis.
