Help picking what A levels I will do

Hello everyone Ive just finished Year 11 and got my results overall I got 6s and 7s so I can study any courses I want. I want to be a lawyer but im just worried the subjects I choose are very limited. Ive chosen History (modern), English Lang, Law and Im debating History (modern), English Lang, Maths to leave more pathways open. However Maths is very challenging as im more towards essay based subjects. Is history, lang and law enough?

This page has the advice from Cambridge, realistically other unis will be less strict on which A-Levels you do.

If you're doing history and an english subject you're basically set. Law and maths are also popular choices for those who get into Cambridge law, so you really have nothing to worry about in that regard. If you think you're going to struggle at maths and did mediocre at GCSE, don't do it. Focus on what you're good at, your combination works well for law and other humanities, even without maths, since History and English are both strong essay subjects.
