i love history at gcse, but i’ve heard that there is soooo much more content at a level that a lot of people find difficult.
i’m predicted a 9 for history, and i find it SO interesting - no matter what unit i’m doing. i’m relatively decent at essays - and i’m sure with practice i’d be able to write amazing ones - so the papers aren’t an issue for me.
as im taking maths and fm at a level(and hopefully maths at uni) i kind of want something to break it up. also probably taking physics as im good at it and as its closely linked with maths.
i honestly just want to continue learning about history, and as 2 of my a levels won’t be particularly content heavy i’m sure i’d be able to handle it.
but im between this and econ as an essay based subject, as i want to take as least one of them to try and diversify my a levels and make it so im not JUST doing maths (even tho i happily would)
but if anyone who takes history (& maths) has any commentary on how manageable the workload is id appreciate it so much !
