A-level choice help (again)

I'm thinking of taking three A-levels but I'm unsure which of the following to pick:
•Law
•History
•Politics
•Philosophy

Out of all them the one I'm least likely to do is politics, but I want to know how difficult they all are. Any advice would be appreciated

I only do history out of those, and I must say it it very content heavy. However, if you are willing to put in the work, it can be really enjoyable. Personally I really enjoy history and recommend it. But if you are someone who doesn’t like writing a lot or going in depth, it’s not for you. Also, reading is a very necessary skill to have for history, as you must often read outside sources to build up knowledge, especially for coursework. I would say, think about what you would like to do at uni; if it is something like law, history gives you GREAT skills for that. But if you would like to do something which is less essay-based, perhaps history is too heavy. Of course, it also depends if you have done it for GCSE’s and enjoyed it. I personally didn’t know what I wanted at uni, so just picked the subjects I liked which would give me a variety of skills. Overall, I would really recommend History, but I know it’s not for everyone, so pick what is best for you!!

What are you wanting to do after your a-levels?
Id doublt check what you are wanting to do after to see if they specify any particular subjects.
If whatever you are wanting to do doesnt specify any particular subjects- then pick the 3 you will enjoy the most and get the best grades in.
