basically, i have to pick my A-level choices for next year, and i have a basic idea of what i want to do in uni, which is either Economics or Business Management (or around that area)
and my definete choices atm are:
Maths (Option modtatistics) Economics
and i have to pick 2 more subjects (aswell as taking compulsory Critical Thinking )
So my question is;
should i take History or Geography for A-level?
Some info: -i dont do History at GCSE, but i DO Geography at GCSE -main reason i want to choose one of these is because i think its good to have an essay-based subject to help me in the future
Geography isn't really an essay based subject, plus History is really interesting. It doesn't really matter if you haven't taken it at GCSE, lots of people do the A level without it.
Do geography, AS is pretty easy to handle just need to learn case studies etc, plus having the GCSE already gives you a massive step into geography, rather than douing history without doing it at GCSE. Also geography have more trips =]

HISTORY!
It's fantastic, and the exams are easier... you learn one collective topic rather than all these different bits.
I didnt do it at GCSE, but picked it up, it's really fun and easy.
I am in no way biased...but History is THE best subject in the world on a serious note, history would probably be better with economics... we have quite a few in our class that didn't do GCSE and they got As last year and i have also heard from people who do do geography that it the coursework is a killer... history is a lot more analytical and more essays.mmmm

I would say history is harder but the fact that you have not done it at GCSE shouldn't make a differnce tbh. Althought geography is easier it's not really an essay subject so maybe history would be the better option for you.
im doing history and its good unless you get one of the duff modules.... still in my opinion better than geography....not a single person in my school choose geography a level
