do you know what books you'd be studying/what topics you'd be doing in history?? because that can make a huge difference! history and english are both facilitating as well so can leave you with more options at uni
in history i would be doing links between the usa and britain it think what do u think

How hard did you find rs? The grade boundaries for Edexcel are ridiculously high! Do you reckon it's that hard to get an a star as opposed to other sub?

I will be starting year 12 in September and have chosen to do Law, Politics, English lit and History (most likely dropping English lit)
So for different exam boards, you can have a completely different experience at A-Level for both subjects in contrast to the sciences, where the content stays *relatively* the same.
I do English Lit with OCR (famous for its different and wack assessment objectives, individual to each question) but I love it. Honestly, it's a much more historical approach with the texts compared to just analysing the language features (something that I frankly hate doing most of the time) and the books are much more interesting to analyse. You're also introduced to different critical ways of thinking (Marxism, Feminism, Orientalism, Modernism etc) and you apply those theories in your essays - but don't worry if you're shocked, you'll find it fun to do once you get into year 12.
I do History with AQA and we do Russia 1855-1964 and Britain 1951-2007. It is a completely different game compared to GCSE. The essays are much longer (my essays are normally 1,500 words whereas at GCSE my 12 markers could have been max 500 words) and there's also a lot more content; a beast. However, if you love history, you'll learn to love it. Also a lot more source-based analysis, especially in question one of the papers. I've kind of fallen out of love with it after GCSE and it's my worst grade despite being the highest achiever for the year (A* for French, A for English and A-B for History at the moment) but I'm hoping that as time goes by I'll love it more and start progressing a lot more.
I'm planning to do English and French/ French and German at university. Feel free to PM me if you have any more questions (:
