Hi guys, my names laura and i'm having some serious issues picking my subjects. I definately know i'm doing English Advanced, English Extension 1, 2U maths, 3U maths, French Continuers and Economics but i'm having a hard time deciding between chemistry and Modern History.
Everyone is telling me to do chem because it scales better, but i hate science and i do just average in it despite being in the extension class for science for the past 4 years. I really enjoy history and have been topping most of the courses that i've done.
Just a bit of background info, i'm on a full academic scholarship and I got Band 6's for both science (94) and Mandatory history (98) in the school certificate...(if that helps anybody out). I like to wrote learn, memorise and regurgitate the information, i kind of hate writing essays but i think i can do them for history.
I'm just finding this decision really hard, so any advice would be great. My issue is that i know chem scales better, but what's the use of picking a subject that scales well when i'm going to be coming 15th out of 40 students whereas I actually like Modern History and there's the probability that I can actually do well and come in the top 5.
Thanks guys.

P.S. is it true that everyone gets smarter and starts working harder in year 11? Also, is it true if you go on exchange to France, your french gets a lot better?
