A/S History

I think so Taking history as well as biology and chemistry shows you have the ability to write coherently and analytically. It also shows you're well-rounded, which is definitely an asset, in particular for medicine. And having one mickey mouse subject won't condemn you to rejection- at least I hope not, since I do sociology!

Lol what career/s are you interested in?

I want to be a secondary school languages teacher

Wow that sounds great - I toyed with the idea of taking French for A/S but I'd have been the only student in the class! Good Luck with whatever you want to do!

Thanks, you too Wow, languages must be even more unpopular in your school than they are in mine! There were 5 in my AS class, although 1 hardly ever turned up and 2 others had very variable attendance, so usually there were only 3 of us, sometimes 2, sometimes 4 and sometimes just me.

Yep, even at GCSE the take-up for languages was extremely poor IMO - around 20 candidates for French (many of whom openly regret taking the subject) and a meagre 5/6 for Spanish. Shame really, as languages can be so beneficial.

It was still compulsory to take a language when I chose my GCSEs. I feel old
