I have a feeling I've posted on this thread before, but after doing the exam think my opinions have changed slightly.

Hardest :
H English
H Physics
H History (primarily because it is a lot of work)
H Modern Studies
H Maths

Hardest

H English
H Chemistry

Think by the end of the year History will have gone several spaces up that list, I can guarantee it! :smile:

Is it actually difficult or does it just require a lot of work to learn all the content? How much time per week would you say it requires to get an A? Considering I have five other Highers..


Why are you doing 6 Highers? Are you allowed?
Original post by nerd434
Yeah, if I self-teach one. Maths and English are basically compulsory. I wanted to study the three sciences as well as History!


I wish you all the best. I had "fun" with 5 so im sure you'll have a ball with 6 :smile:

Higher History is not so much about just learning all the content, it's hard in terms of the fact that you need to completely change how you approach the exam questions, whereas SG was simply "memorise" and write down all the details in the exam, almost reptitively. Higher is so much more about using what you know to analyse why things happened etc.

I'd say that by the fact you've put Higher English furthur up the list, shows that History will eventually end furthur up, as they are both hugely essay based and completely different from their prospective SG versions.
