Can I self teach these subjects within 2 months?

History is about two weeks work if that.

Is that for both unit 1 and unit 2?

I just wanted to know if I could self teach GCSE French and GCSE History in depth before the exams in May. For French I'm talking about the Reading and Listening exams not the speaking and writing which I have already done. Also, how long will it take me to self teach to A* standards. I've done it before with other subjects btw.

GCSE History from scratch in 2 months? Unless you are literally going to devote most waking hours of your next two months for this or you are some kind of savant, I'd say you haven't got a chance. History is quite possibly the most content heavy GCSE to take and I have absolutely no idea how you could expect to learn all of the content, nail the exam technique plus finish the coursework in 2 months. It just sounds like absolute insanity to me. There are some subjects, like English Language or Mathematics, which are skill based so as long as you're naturally gifted in that skill, you can learn all the content and exam technique quickly. But History? Absolutely not. Ignore the guy saying you can study GCSE History in two weeks: you can't.

With French, it depends on how much you already know. If you've done the speaking and writing exams to an A* standard then there's a good chance you already know most of the vocab so I'd say yes, you probably can.

I've managed to condense History down to about ten pages. With really tiny writing. And about thirty pages of proper notes. You could try but to be honest, I wouldn't recommend it. And French would be a lot harder.
These are some of my notes. I have about fifteen double pages like these.
There are also specific things to learn such as:

I don't know what exam board you would use but I do AQA and it requires Controlled Assessment as well . . . Plus, you need to practise LOADS of past papers.
Hope I helped. If you want to ask me anything, go ahead.

What's your exam board for French? If you google your exam board and type in french specification, when you click on it and scroll down a bit, you'll find a list of all the words which will ever come up in your exam, you can then make flash cards of all of them and cram the meanings, that way, you'll develop a full understanding of all the vocab which will be in your reading and listening tests

I've done my history coursework already and got an A* in it. All of my French coursework was also A*. With History how long do you think it would take if I did a bit everyday? I'm really good at absorbing and memorising information quickly.
