What is the point of revising for a subject that I definitely don't want do?

I don't want to do History beyond GCSE yet I was forced to pick it by my school. It requires a lot of revision to get good grades and will take away time that could be used for revision of subjects that I will actually use past the GCSE exam. Should I even bother? I can get a 4, maybe a 5, if I wing it, but should I spend time revising?

I stopped going to history at about year 9 maybe year 8.
I just bunked off all the time.
I'm 27 now and I regret doing so.

I actually enjoy history quite a bit now.

I wouldn't as it will bring your GCSE average down if you get a significantly lower grade to the rest.

Isn't it better if you have a humanities subject when applying to sixth form or college?

Does average GCSE matter? Does it matter enough to risk not meeting my target grades in subjects that I consider more important than history?

Maybe. But I will technically have history, as I will likely get a 4 or a 5. I don't know if it is worth trying for a higher grade, since it will jeopardise my other grades, some of which I intend to take at uni.

I enjoy history as a concept, but in a classroom environment it just doesn't stick for me. I enjoy watching historical documentaries and videos, but I really don't have enough time to dedicate to studying the course content. I am really good at computer science and I intend to take it as an A level and at uni, but I need to get a decent maths grade to do so. I don't see a reason to revise for history If that time could be spent revising maths, which I need to revise for.

Maybe find a middle ground.
Eg find some interactive way to keep on top of the work. For example documentaries.

Watch a couple documentaries while going over a past paper or study guide should be fine.

Also your a GCSE student so you can't really use the not enough time excuse.

True if you're happy getting a 4 or 5 then by all means focus on the subjects you are willing to carry on in college and uni. If you don't mind me asking what year are you in?

I done this and I look back and really regret it. I was getting 6 ,7 and 8’s when I was revising for history however when I never my grades dropped significantly to 3 and 4’s. In my real exam I missed a whole paper as I had this attitude that I don’t need it and at the end came out with a 3. Now it looks really odd on my certificate as I have all 6’s and 7’s and one 3 so I would advise you to revise for it. But priorities too so put the important subjects first and do abit for history too.

I'm well aware, though it does mean something to me. Perhaps the pepe icon gives off some bad vibes; I'll change it.

But about the revision bit: I do technically have enough time, the problem is that I get stressed if i do more than 3 hours of revision a day.

There’s no need to do more anyway so don’t worry. Just split up your time into different subjects and you’ll be fine.
