Take what you are 90-100% sure that you are interested in. You will be taking these subjects almost everyday for the next 2 years of your life and the last thing you want is to go sit in a class you find boring and want to skip. If you are interested, you will do well too. Also think about what you want to do in the future, as in what career you want. Also if you have any universities and uni courses in mind, check their subject requirements, if they need a certain subject then you might want to take that, like I want to study law and alot of universities don't really have any subject requirements for that so I am just taking the A-levels I enjoy and will help me with what I want to study in university.

It depends on what you like most to be honest. They're all good A levels and politics and history work well together. Most schools will let you change your A levep in September so if you want to change ahy of your subjects for politics then I'd advise you to wait until september

Look at the syllabus for your subjects and see which you would prefer taking.
Is criminology a proper A-level? Double check which unis accept it for whatever you are thinking of doing at uni.
