Hello!
I am currently in year 11, a few months away from my GCSE's. My school would like us to fill out a form on what subjects we would like to take for A levels, but I am struggling to decide between History and Biology. I am pursuing a career in acting, so I am definitely going to be studying Drama and English Literature. I have also chosen psychology for my third choice.
On one hand, History would be helpful for providing extra context for Drama and English Literature. I do enjoy learning the facts, but not so much the essays or coursework. In my mocks, I achieve a grade 6 and I am predicted to have a 7/8 in my GCSEs.
On the other hand, Biology would most definitely come in handy for Psychology, and my plan B in my career path is to become a nurse. I enjoy both the essays and the coursework. In my mocks, I achieved a grade 6 and I am still predicted to have a grade 6 in my GCSEs.
I have asked my family members, friends and teachers for their advice on my decision, but I get varied answers. Perhaps someone who has studied either or both could let me know a little more about the subjects in the comments?
What do you think, History or Biology?
Thank you!
Torrance
