GCSE History vs Geography ??

I did history and really enjoyed it... if your good at remembering specifics like dates and names then history would be good for you. As for what’s in it, it depends on the exam board.

Hi,im currently in y9 and i will be picking my gcse options (deadline is tommorow and im panicing on what to pick)
can someone help me decide pls (pros and cons would be helpfull< so would explanation of the course/subject)
history exam board: EDEXCEL
geography exam board:AQA
extra info:
i get the same marks on both
i enjoy both
im thinking to pick RS+SPANISH+Triple science

History. Its far more interesting and far more relevant to today's political climate. Don't take sociology, though. That's code for don't throw your life away.

I did geography and enjoyed it a lot. I found human geography much more interesting and enjoyable compared to physical but still, I did rate it. in your history exams you'd probably be writing essays (I don't really know though) whereas geography is like a science paper. mostly 2-4 makers with a couple of 6 and 12. if you're into current events then I'd say geography x

I’ve done both and personally i enjoyed history the most it was rly interesting

which one do you think is easier?

GEOGRAPHY:
PROs:
- People generally find it easier to revise than history
- You get to learn about things that are happening now and are affecting us today (particularly in human geography)
- Less essay writing
- If you were to continue geography at a higher level, it would benefit you in courses such as geography degrees, environmental studies, planning and even architecture.
- Some of the content comes up in GCSE chemistry
CONS:
- A lot of people find some parts physical geography more boring than human or vice versa (i personally found both interesting so it depends really)
- Some people find it hard to learn things like case studies

I didn't take history myself, but this is what i've heard from people generally:
HISTORY:
PROS:
- Useful if you want to go into history/politics/law later on
- Skills learnt could be useful in other subjects such as English
- Despite the work load, people still find the content interesting
CONS:
- May be difficult if you don't like essay writing especially under timed conditions
- More memorising than geography
- Coursework is more "intense" than geography (from what I've heard)

There is no coursework in History -.-
No idea about Geography, but I doubt it.

There is coursework for both. Maybe it depends on the exam board? Or maybe they got rid of it this year.
