Should I drop English Lit or Psychology for A levels

Im doing Bio, Chem, EngLit and Psychology.

I wanna do medicine - I find Psychology boring but its quite easy as its mostly memorisation.
English is interesting but I hear its difficult to do well in. I need an A star.
Im really confused what to drop. Has anyone does this combo, is English that hard, should I js stick to psychology?

Pick the subject that you most enjoy studying - because that is where you are most likely to get the best grade.

I enjoy English more, but I'll probably get the best grade in Psychology just because it's quite simple

I don't think you need English A-level for any medicinal career pathways. I think you should drop English Lit, since you heard it's apparently difficult to do well in, and keep psychology as it might be useful (can link to some medicine and also because you said it's quite easy. In my opinion, if you get the highest marks/percentages in psychology, then just stick to it.

If you will get the best grade in psychology then id do psychology. Obviously you need the best grades for medicine.
