I get good grades in both. I'm not sure whether history having more content is worse, or whether french having a lot of verbs and tenses to learn is worse. Post-16, I plan to do Bio, Chem and Maths A-Levels, and then go on to study medicine at uni.

Have you had a look at which topics you will do in History?
I would suggest you take whichever you enjoy learning more :smile:
I studied a language plus history at GCSE and I found that both were manageable through flashcards. History does have a lot of content but I struggled more with the exam technique. Languages you need a lot of vocab and tenses practice, might be easier or harder with taking two languages if you find they help each other versus you get muddled up between them.

Ok, thank you! I'll have a look at the history topics when I have a chance :smile:
