Which A-levels Should I pick

I am now in year 11 picking my a-levels and i am not sure what i want to pick or what i want to pursue after. I am thinking of doing Chemistry, Math (as they are needed for medicine, History and another essay base (either English lit or psychology) as they help to get into law. Is English Lit needed to become a lawyer and will drastically help or should i pick psychology. Currently getting 66 in English

Do only three A levels. A fourth will not help you and might hinder you.

Study what interests you.

There are no required A level subjects for a law degree.

You do not need a law degree to become a lawyer.

If aiming for medicine, you will not be able to afford the luxury of an A level in English, but you can enjoy English literature at any time.

I think that the ideal three A levels for an aspirant lawyer might be History, English, and Latin, but you really can choose any three subjects.

Maybe include maths,and/or at least one science subject, because those subjects are virtuous in thrir own right.
