Hi all,
It's a week into my first term of college woohoo(!) and I am beyond struggling in my History class. You see, my first unit is the 'Stuart Britain and the Crisis of Monarchy' so it is based on historic figures such as Henry VIII, Charles I etc. This may sound shocking to a few (maybe not) but I have only really learnt about Henry VIII in Year 8-9 and I have completely forgotten everything I was taught. So in class, when the teacher asks questions regarding some of these figures I have absolutely no clue. It's worse because everyone else happens to know. I hate the feeling of being the only one who is clueless. I am currently attempting to do my homework which is to answer a series of questions, aimed towards Charles I, the Privy Council and what not and I am struggling so bad. I am unable to answer the questions. I really wanted to do History as I enjoyed it a lot during my GCSEs, so I would be saddened to drop this subject. But I'm losing hope. What do you think I should do? Should I drop out?

KEEP GOING BROTHER!
It's a really respected subject to unis and A levels are a bit of a shock from
GCSE's
Also more related to your post- throughout both years everyone in my class seemed to know so much more than me about general history (1900s prime ministers🙄). Just remember you are there to LEARN, when you get taught more of your course listen and remember it because that is what you need to know.

Hey! I'm also doing History for A-Levels. I've found my first week pretty good. I'm also doing AQA. I'm doing the units (1C, The Tudors and 2O, Democracy and Nazism). Keep at it tbh, you'll probably enjoy the more modern topic (Unit 2). You'll learn how to make History fun again whilst in the course, don't give up.
