Neglecting a subject in order to do better in others?

Anyone else doing this? I'm doing maths biology chemistry and history and am revising thoroughly for them all apart from history. In fact I don't think I'll bother with history until a couple of weeks before the exam.
Focusing more on subjects you find more difficult? Preposterous! Truly absurd

I actually find them easier than history, but I've still got to work at them, it's because they're better for what I want to do at uni.

Don't neglect it too much unless you find it really easy (or you're in your A2 year and you only need 3 A-levels for your offer - but I'm assuming you're doing AS). Sure you might need maths/biology/chemistry more but other applicants will have put more effort all round. AAAC looks a lot worse than AAAA even if the C doesn't matter (speaking in hypotheticals - I have no idea what you're aiming for).

What are you wanting to do at uni?

Pharmacy so I only need 3 a-levels, I'm planning to drop history at A2 anyway.
