AS Politics dilemma, should I take it?

AS Politics dilemma, should I take it?

I have never been very fond of politics because it doesn't interest me at all. But, I do want to learn and understand the subject? Is it worth it for me to take politics?

If you're not interested in it, don't take it as an AS level.

If you want to know more, just read a book on the sub topic you're interested in.

Could my disinterest affect my grade? Because if I could get the grade, shouldn't I take it?

If you can honestly force yourself to do well at a subject, then maybe you can take it, but you won't enjoy it, and it'll become a chore to revise for.

It's much better to do a subject you enjoy and that you can do well at.

Why are you considering politics?
