wbu?B in history you may struggle a little. I got an A (probably should have gotten an A* but meh) and I have found it ok, though it was a difficult step up initially. Got a B last year but now hoping to get an A overall (need a low B in the summer to get an A overall
) If you enojy history then I say go for it, just be prepared to be challenged. It's basically the same as GCSE, but more knowledge and deeper analysis requiredB in history you may struggle a little.

What subjects did you do in A Level history? I think we are doing civil rights (Klu Klux Klan etc.)ye I would say go for it. It will depend on your exam board on what you do but my year was the last to do our current course. AS we did Russia and Germany 1871-1914 and Pete the Great. The former seemed very difficult at the time but I resat it this year and got a strong A so I think it was just badly taught. Peter the Great was more straight forward but had source evaluation which is more difficult and had higher grade boundaries (due to being simpler) so I got a high B. This year it's 60% exam and 40% coursework but I got an A in my coursework so I wish it was the other way roundThanks for that insight . The teacher said i am capable of getting an A seen as i got an A overall for my coursework
We had to do a 4000 word essay on something that spanned the period 1904-2010. I decided to do it on American foreign policy and if WW2 caused the largest shift in US foreign policy. Took me a while to get going on it but I found it really interesting, especially as it helped me see why the world is like it is today (in some respects). Of course 4000 words can't do the topic justice The exam this summer is on Britain: 1865-1915. It's interesting but very politics based. Hopefully I can get a low B or better which will give me an A overall and I'll be delighted with it Overall History has been a great A level but Swansea need me...

well my best subject is history, which is just like coursework but in an exam instead. So I don't mind itThis so much. Glad I only ever did non-coursework subjects. Probably a minority opinion though.
10 exams in total for me though
