Hi! I'm in year 13 studying A-Level History

1.

History is my fav subject :smile:

2.

I won't lie, the workload is quite heavy as you need to learn to balance the amount of content with practising exam technique - but as long as you can stay on top of it you should be okay

3.

I loved history GCSE and I'm hopefully going to study history at uni so the A-Level was a must for me

4.

AQA

5.

I do Germany 1918-45 and British political history 1850s-1960s - I enjoy both but probably prefer Germany

6.

I would recommend history if you enjoy the subject and don't mind writing essays

Hope this is somewhat helpful!

Hey i'm year 12 and I'm doing a-level history :smile:

1) I love it
2) it is pretty heavy but if you put effort in then you can manage it
3) I loved it a gcse and was rly good at it
4) aqa
5) i do Tudors and Russia 1917-1953 and i prefer Tudors but like both
6) I'd deffo recommend it if you're rly passionate about history, if not then it'll probably be harder to enjoy cus there's sm

Hi! I'm in year 12 doing a level history.
1) its pretty interesting and it's one of my favourite subjects
2) It's a lot of work let me not lie but as long as you keep up you'll be fine
3) I did it at gcse and i was good at it. plus i didn't wanna pick psych which was my other option
4) AQA
5) Russia
6) I would especially if you've done it at gcse and enjoyed it but it's a really content heavy subject.

I'm in year 13, here are my thoughts --

1.

It's definitely a lot harder than AS, especially in CIE where you have a historiography paper - those concepts were the hardest to grasp, at least for me.
