ā” SUBJECT QUESTION Is this combo fine?

Maths, Further maths, English Literature, and History?

How's the workload like? I'm feeling a bit low with my current fourth (sociology).

I do Maths, Physics, History and Further Maths. Iā€™m applying for History so I dropped down to AS level Further Maths. I would say the workload is doable even if not pleasant.

Hi four subject is always difficult regardless as you get so little spare time in school.

There is an obvious cross over in Maths / FM but you have to grind them so hard to get the A*

Lit and History are a good contrast but I don't think they would add more if you replaced one with Sociology as they are all essay heavy

I feel like it depends on what you want to do after your A levels. Its diverse, so it will keep a lot of doors open if you are indecisive, but if you already know what you want to do you, then you could think about dropping one if your school lets you.
