Help me pick

I want to go into neuroscience at university and I'm really stuck between 2 A-level options. I know that two science courses are required so I'm planning to do biology and chemistry, but for my 3rd option I don't know whether to do maths or psychology. I would prefer to do psychology as I find it easier and its more interesting for me, but I feel like maths will be more beneficial.

Do psychology! If you need 2 sciences and you have those your third choice can be anything and if you prefer psychology plus you find it easier i would say its the better option 🙂 make sure to check uni requirements though to see if any require maths

If you find psychology more interesting, you are more likely to do well in it. Maths is not required for a reason. Psychology is more closely related to neuroscience than maths, so you will likely gain more out of it.
