Hi guys, so I got recommended history extension since I did really well in my modern history yearly exam. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if its worth while.

Thank you

According to what I have heard Extension History is not really like Modern or Ancient in that your aim is discuss what is history and what makes history, history. You are studying the study of history instead of history or historical events themselves.

At my school there were 14 people in Extension History than there ended up being 3 people in the class for this year's HSC. It is a subjects with a lot of drop outs.

I personally would have loved to do Ext History for the History buff I am. But didn't pick it up becuase I loved most of the subjects I was already doing.

It also requires a major work so if you're not organised with your time management, it might be best to leave it for this year. But give it a go, you might surprise yourself :)

If studying historiography is your thing then you should like it. Pick it and see how it goes - you can always drop it whenever.
