Chemistry and Physics, easy.

 

Back in the day I did both of them for A-Level and they're incredibly useful for your degree.

Both show that you're clever and good at manipulating numbers (Chemistry more than Physics), Physics shows you're excellent at maths and Chemistry shows that you're good at analysis.

 

Since Maths, Analysis and manipulation of formulae are so important in computing, I's definitely recommend taking those two.

If you're really serious about computing or computing-related degrees then you sould also consider doing Maths too. Maths is more important to a computing dergree than ICT.

 

Just to shit on Biology even more, the hardest thing you'll do (in my opinion) is Hardy-Weinberg which is difficult but doesn't show ability like Physics does.

 

However, if you're younger, your subjects won't matter that much and you should stil be able to do the degree of your choice without much hassle.

Physics for sure, if you ever want to get into game dev that's gonna be useful, and for the other well... pick what you think you are going to like more (or hate less).
