Should I drop sociology a level?

So I am a month and a half into year 12 and I’m taking 4 subject: geography, photography, philosophy&ethics and sociology. I need to drop one as 4 is unnecessary and too much work, I’m deciding between dropping geography or sociology. I think i should drop sociology as it feels like a bit of a waste of time however I know it’s easier than geography. However in my head it feels wrong/ not right to drop either of them even though I know there’s no wrong choice, but I don’t want to continue doing 4 subjects. Which should I drop?

I’m thinking between sociology and geography as I could do really well in photography and want a course work subject. Do you prefer sociology or geography??

Which one do you enjoy more? That's your answer there. Your easiest subject will be the one you enjoy the most, so drop whatever one is your least favourite.

I can't speak about geography, but I study sociology and I do enjoy it. However you need to think on what you want to do in the future and whether sociology/geography will help you more with this.

I think sociology will help more in the future but since I make the question I’ve been think of geography?

Well then it depends on what you enjoy more. You'll find it easier to study for a subject you enjoy :smile:
