Crashing Higher History In S5 advice

I was wondering if anyone could describe what the coursework is like in higher history and just overall the experience of doing it? I'm also wondering if it would be a difficult subject to crash higher but I think I would be capable as my predicted grades for Modern, Geography and English are all A1s.

I'm considering switching geography for history as I feel it would be more relevant to what I want to do in the future and I would enjoy doing AH history and Higher Geography in S6 rather than AH geography and Higher history.

Higher history is the “it” subject to crash. As must schools either teach new topics or go over Nat 5 ones in much more depth.
Regarding to work load in the final exam u will need to know 8 essays of 22marks and then info for source questions. So there’s a lot of content to memorise but besides from writing essays and memorising them there’s not much more outside of class work. In regards to essay subjects I took higher history, modern, English and politics and would say it’s the most straight forward and logical :smile:
