Do advanced highers matter for law vacation schemes/training contracts?
I recently accepted an unconditional offer from the University of Edinburgh for the law llb. I achieved 8A'S National 5 and 5 A's at Higher.
I am currently taking advanced highers in English, modern studies and history. I am enjoying modern studies and English, and will be taking those exams with the goal of achieving an A in both, which I did in my prelim. However I am really disliking history this year, but I think if I did the exam I could scrape a B. Additionally, I have important things going on around the time of my history exam.
I am considering dropping history and not doing the exam. However, I was wondering if I stuck with the course, and managed to get a B, if that would help me significantly in training contract or vacation scheme applications in the future? If not I'd probably be better off spending my time working to afford Edinburgh living costs.

An advanced higher qualification in history will be of great help with employability in the future. I'm not saying you need to study loads for it, but I think you should at least sit it and aim to pass.
