Doing badly in fourth subject

So I've started my A-levels and so far, so good. All of them are interesting to me, I'm putting loads of quality work into them and I'm really engaging (both listening and discussing/explaining) in lessons - something I didn't do much at GCSE.

The jump is being felt across all of my subject in terms of workload and complexity. However, it hasn't been too bad for my three main subjects (Maths, Biology and Politics). My fourth subject, History, I'm finding really difficult and I feel like I'm going to do so badly in it.

I'm putting all of the work into it yet I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere with it unlike my other subjects. I don't want to drop it because it's a good A-level to have, I (at least) was competent in the subject and have an interest in both the units we are doing.

My plan is to drop it at the end of the year, but I don't think I'll be getting more than a C in it. Obviously I'll try really hard to get the best grade possible, but that seems like realistically it will be a C.

So the main part of this is if I get AAAC - will the C drag me down when applying for a RG despite dropping it after Y12?

If you need context about my GCSE grades, they aren't an amazing tally (1A*, 5As, 4Bs and 1C with remarks hopefully getting it to 1A*, 7As and 3Bs) but I was in the top 10% of my year group of 250 based on our results.

I got AABE, dropped the E, got offers from Durham, York, Exeter, Liverpool and Kent you should be absolutely fine! You may even surprise yourself with your grade

Bruh, trust me on this one right. My strongest grade all year was a D. My weakest 2 were U and U.
Idk what I did, but I ended up with AAAB, my weakest U became my strongeset A, the other U became the B.

Just go through with it, you're doing waaaaay more than I did at this stage.
