I’m in year 10 and I’ve already done a year of my option subjects (French,History,Geography) and Ive done my mocks for them. I got a level 3 in History and I’m used to getting level 5s and I think tackling both Geography AND History is too much. I’ve asked my brother who took Geography, Psychology and French and got As, he’s now in 16+ and wants to study medicine. He says that it would be a wasted year and I can come back from this and still get a pass. I don’t want to give up, but at the same time I’m too stressed to do both especially, because I’m already doing triple science and higher tier maths. I have only Thai chance to change my my options and I’m not sure if I should. Someone please help me and give me advice!!!!!!!!

Thank youuu!! I’ve thought about it more and this definitely helps. I’m going to do lots of revision for the content we’ve done so far during the summer and afterwards, while also going through the new content. I think History and Geography can be easy subjects if you just memorize everything, because that’s basically the only skill you need. Thanks again for the advice 😊

Right ... Could you list all the subjects you are currently doing? This will help me to advice you on what to do.

I doubt they’ll let you drop History as it’s one of your three options though dropping triple Science is possible if the pressure gets too much. See what your school says anyways. Btw, I can help with History.

I’m planning on keeping triple science, plus I’m going to be studying for maths and science almost everyday, as they’re the most important, but tips can you suggest for me.

For History, knowing the content isn’t enough and I recommend practicing exam questions as often as possible - even planning them is fine. Can send you exam board specific stuff if you want once I’m back later.

And I have a revision guide for the American West and Nazi Germany with info on events, names and dates, with exam questions so I’m planning on going over those through the summer. But I also have exams for Elizabethan England and Medicine through time so I’ll try finding some for those online. Thanks!

I posted this two years and thought I’d update on how I did in these exams last year (year 10).
History - 8 (doing a level history starting September)
Geography- 5
French - 5
English Lang - 6
It’s funny considering I wanted to drop history and I’m now taking it at a level. Once I started revising for it regularly I started really enjoying the content. I always found it interesting but I think due to the stress it just drowned out my love for the subject.
Thank you for everyone who encouraged me to keep studying history and geography together. Goes to show it’s possible to study and do well in both.
Also, in year 11 I ended up doing combined science, instead of triple, English lit (also doing at a level), maths and citizenship.
