Take whatever you want, Oxford don't care. Ideally something you'd enjoy and something relatively easy so you can get a high grade.

If Oxford wishes applicants to study a specific subject, it says so. Otherwise the subjects studied at sixth form are immaterial to an application.

Oh thanks. Which subject out of these four is objectively the easiest?

There is no easy route into Oxford. Your question does not admit of an answer.

PS: doing four A levels will not assist you. It might hinder you.

You have FIVE UCAS choices, not just Oxford. Oxbridge does not suit everyone - and this has nothing to do with intellect or academic ability - nor does it guarantee you a great career or an instantly happy life. You may find that another University / course suits you far better. Look around, go to Open Days at a range of different Universities and work out where you will feel happiest.

One applicant I remember on this TSR forum was "R," who chose A-Level Maths, Economics and Geography and AS Chemistry but had 11A* grades at GCSE. Not suprisingly, he was made an offer by Jesus College - Oxford, LSE, UCL, Warwick, Durham and Bristol.

I do Geography, History and Sociology at A-Level. Ask me any questions you have.
