I am choosing my options next week and I don't know whether to do Geography or History? Any advice?

Honestly just go for which one you enjoy more and/or are better at (or even choose both if you want to and your school allows it).
The subject choice at GCSE has very little ramifications for any later applications. If you want to consider doing either of these for a-level though, you should take them at GCSE so you can make an informed choice at a-level.
Geography is a little more 'sciencey' whereas I would say that History is a pure humanity. Choose which ever is your favorite!

Whichever you find more interesting or enjoyable. History is more essay based, whereas in geography they're generally looking for more specific answers. If you're a mathsy person I'd recommend geography, if you're an Englishy person I'd recommend history

Well personally I do both, so really.. you can pick whatever you prefer more, and if you like both well then just pick both, if your school allows it that is

I chose and got both
go for the one you most enjoy and are good at, personally, I would pick Geography, sadly I can't cause I don't have enough choices but the curriculum for our Geog GCSE looks good (with our board, I'm not sure what curriculum u have) also look at the curriculum and if you don't like it, don't take it.
