Hi. I am currently in year nine and have to pick my gcse options. I want to be a lawyer when i am older. I have just realised I need history Gcse to be a lawyer. Can i do without it?
If i do it i have to not do geography. Which is better? Is history hard?
Please help!!!!!
Any experiences??

For law it is probably much better to do history, although I don't think unis specifically ask for it.

For law history is better but I too did geography gcse and didn't do history. For law neither is required at gcse but I would recommend history for A level and if you want A levels to be easy then do history gcse as the whole structure of essay writing and technique will be familiar and so you will find it a little easier.
However I picked history for A-level and for AS level I got an A, i am currently doing history A2.
I think that history gcse will just allow you to learn the technique/structure of essays and that's about it, everyone else in your class will be like you as you'll all have to learn the a level content whether you have done GCSE history or not.
At the end of the day it doesn't really matter what gcse's you do, (choices are mostly important at a level) I think you should chose the subject you find the easiest and the one you enjoy the most!
best of luck with whatever you decide to pick!

Take whichever you like more. Personally, I preferred Geography and found History a bit more difficult, but both are pretty fun.
