a level advice

im a y11 student who has to choose her a-levels in march. i'm really good at french, spanish, english and latin, and i enjoy english lit but find it to be difficult to memorise everything and the exam is very time pressured. im okay at chem and physics, but quite good at bio. i hate maths and im very average at it. im quite interested in sociology but have not had the opportunity to study it for gcse, and will not at a-level since i do not have the option to and will be doing 4 a-levels.im not sure what a-levels to take, but have decided that spanish and politics will definitely be 2 of the 4. im also considering economics, since i think that will tie in well with politics, but have no idea what to do as my fourth a level. im considering hsps (or something along the lines of it) or law at uni, but really am not sure. what should i do as my fourth a level?
