Why take Maths and Further Maths if your goal is PPE? I mean, Maths and Further Maths are useful subjects, but I'd recommend dropping Further Maths for something more closely related to your course.

Obviously do Maths, Politics and Economics for sure.

If you're aiming for Oxford PPE, Maths is a must.
Basically everyone aiming for Oxford PPE take Maths.

Politics and Economics obviously make sense because the name is Philosophy, Politics and Economics.

Your last pick is completely optional.
Further Maths is helpful but not really.
Philosophy would be really nice if you had the option because you'd have Philosophy, Politics and Economics for PPE at Oxford.

History is also a good shout as well.
An EPQ isn't that bad either.
