Dropping English Lit GCSE

Im going into yr 11 and we are allowed to drop English Lit. I hate the subject so much but im fairly ok at it (predicted a 7) however I’m bad at English Lang so i think dropping lit would give me more time to revise for English Lang (which is compulsory). Do you think dropping it is a good idea?

Deffo don’t drop English, most unis require a grade 5 from English gcse!! Plus a 7 is rly good
imo i'd keep both, they're both useful subjects to have and revision for gcse lang isn't particularly difficult, just doing loads of practice questions and revising key terminology.
