Hi! I take history A-level, and it was my second choice as I was unable to do politics (timetable clash). As a result, I went into the A-level with such a negative mindset, but now I absolutely love it. There is a lot of content, and we get essays for homework most weeks, but I really enjoy it. I find essay writing comes quite naturally me, so I don't find it too difficult. Of course it depends on your teacher, class size, and which topics you do. Which topics are in your school's history A-level?
