I just started year 12 and I've had a taste of English Language at AS level and I'm not exactly looking forward to it however it is one of my stronger subjects in comparison to others. I've shown an interest in English Literature though however I am certain that I might struggle with the workload and syllabus.
I am in the midst of deciding whether to change from English Language to Literature or not and I have no idea of what to do. I've gathered from multiple threads here on the Student Room about how English Literature is ranked higher on the big list of A level subjects major universities prefer in comparison to English Language.
Also after skimming through the Edexcel English Literature syllabus for last year, I've noticed that the exams are mainly open-booked, which is a huge difference to GCSE where you had to memorise key quotes. That aside, I know the gap/difference between GCSE and A level is enormous but I still don't know which subject to choose. I am thinking of dropping this subject during my second year to focus on my 2 sciences and mathematics.
P.S: If anyone is asking, I am planning on either going to Australia or the UK for University hopefully to study engineering (Mechanical? Civil?).
