Advanced Higher French?

I have to fill out my course choice form soon but I’m not sure what advanced higher i should take. I currently do Higher French, English, Modern Studies, RMPS, and Psychology. I’ve found Nat 5 and Higher French easy, is Advanced the same? And is it a productive use of time? Alternatively i would take Advanced Modern - i want to do International Relations in uni so it relates to my course. However, i want to do French at some point in my higher education, will i need the experience of AH? I was planning on take both but most people in my year are only taking 1 AH and i don’t find Higher particularly easy. Any advice appreciated 🙏

French is really hard to learn. Good luck!

didnt take adv french, but i have noticed that some unis offer different levels of classes based on if you took adv higher in that language. im taking 2 adv highers and nothing else but your school might not allow that (started w 3 and dropped 1)
