Personally, I love History it is really useful as it has really good transferable skills like essay writing and source analysis. I think both the Tudors and the Cold War are interesting but it depends what sort of history you like. I like the combination of medieval history and then more modern history. I would definitely recommend History. Plus it is a really highly regarded A - Level. All I can say is that I take English Lit and Lang AQA and despise it as it is so boring I can't wait to drop it.
