hi so I’m going into a-levels next year and am undecided on whether I should take history or classics as one of my options. Classics would basically be studying texts like the odyssey and learning about ancient history, society, politics, religion etc.
Its just I think history sounds a lot better and is a lot more useful, and I do get pretty good grades, it’s just I find it hard to cope with the amount of content even at gcse and I really don’t like the a-level curriculum whereas I find the classics curriculum really interesting.
In addition, I want to do English lang+lit and religious studies, but I feel maybe combined with classics that would be such a useless trio? I’m also doing an epq as well as the three a-levels. Idk what to do because everyone is giving me different advice on what to take.
