Alevels :(

I'm considering the biology/psychology route at university and my advanced levels I'm considering are biology, chemistry, psychology and English language. In here it states that psychology isn't necessarily a hard subject, and language isn't mentioned a lot, so I'm basically taking two facilitating subjects. Would it be useful to take a third facilitating subject? Psychology being my only 'soft' subject? What are university opinions on the psychology alevels? What I was concerned about was also how language isn't as admired as literature, how much will this affect how universities see me? Any advice please !!

I don't think you need to take A-level psychology to study psychology and it is considered a soft subject. I also wonder whether dismissing English Lit as a facilitating choice is a mistake, I think given the right choice of reading matter it can do a lot to support the study of psychology at university.
