Dentistry is very competitive so you might want to continue with physics if you plan on going to a prestigious university. Higher History is fairly straightforward. You need to have very good essay skills and retain a lot of knowledge about the topic. The structure of essays is basically common sense and it’s really simple. There is an assignment which can be quite tedious since you need to write a whole essay of about 1500-2000 words in 1 hour. I wouldn’t say I found it very easy but it’s an interesting higher to take and I’d recommend it.

Hi! Physics is definitely a more difficult A compared to other subjects; i’m taking it right now and studying for a test. it’s quite hard, but very interesting; i love it. history is probably the easier option if you’re good at memorising things :smile:

I'd only take physics if ur really strong in maths, otherwise just take history.
