Can’t decide on my A-levels.

I’m not sure what a levels to choose. I want to study Law at a Russel group uni (preferably KCL) and can’t decide between Politics, psychology and RS(philosophy). I’ll definitely take English Literature, but I can’t narrow down my last 2.

Take the two that you’ll enjoy most. Law schools won’t have an order of preference for these subjects :smile:
Why do you want to study law, do you want to be a lawyer? You don't have to study study law to be a lawyer, you can study anything really so considering picking something fun and or easier. But regardless of that I think you should pick Psychology, English literature, and whatever you think might be easy/interesting. But you don't have to pick psychology, picking things that are easy and interesting is the most important
Which subjects will you enjoy studying the most?
This is where you are most likely to get high grades.
I do psychology and philosophy and ethics and both are interesting subjects! (that may be subjective) However I know a girl in my class that is wishing to study law and does the same 2 subjects as me (+History) It is always recommended to at least pick one subject thats a fun/interesting subject and for i think thats psychology. Now alevel Philosophy & ethics (RS) although I got 76/100 and was 4 marks away from an A, it IS content heavy and i think you already taking eng lit, it may be a bit too much for you. So im thinking eng lit, psychology and politics ( not saying tha you HAVE to do these 3 subjects but this is what im thinking is a good combo)
I’d say study psychology. It’s essay based and not too difficult. you definitely want a more chilled out A level
