choosing gsces

i chose latin not classics - it kinda does sound like we go to the same or similar schools but my names on my username so you can probably tell if i go to your school or not lol. are you doing spanish or french?

i haven't done any of the others but geography is not too bad, it can be a bit dull at times but all in all it's not a hard gcse to get a good grade in, there's not too much content though learning case study facts is tedious sometimes, other than that it's fine.
as for history, haven't taken it but have heard from my other friends that it's pretty difficult eg. I know people who were getting 7s 8s and 9s in all their other subjects but 2s and 5s for mocks so it can be hard but if you have a very good memory you'll be suited to it, it tends to be considered more interesting than geog (from people who've taken both) but obviously it depends on what you like, if you like hard facts than geog is better. sorry not sure about the other two options

geo was going to be one of my choices (because i love learning about the world in general) however after finding out its not an essay subject (i want to take at least 2 because i like them (im sorry)), and i got one of my least fav teachers to teach it.. do you learn a lot of social/economical/political things? that's what i want to do

to be fair while it's not an outright essay subject you do have long-answer questions, like 6/8/9/12 marks and similar. not sure about what exam board you're doing (mine was ocr b) but for us half the course was human geography so the more social/economic/political side like supply and demand, responses to an ageing population, urbanisation, development etc. but make sure you're also happy to do the physical geog too, i didn't like physical and it was hard to make myself revise that part of the course so make sure both are ok with you. but if you prefer learning about social economic things etc. then maybe history would suit you better

Im doing the AQA - there's a paper on challenges in the human environment (right up my alley) but there's also one about the physical environment and i don't love learning about that stuff
i was thinking history would only have these types of things for the past however? (i want to learn more about real life issues in modern times and in the future)
