good subjects, but pls consider doing some sort of maths as well.
im currently doing ancient and history ext - i love history, but both subjects are SO. MUCH. WORK. make sure you know that you can dedicate a good portion of your time to the histories. also, i do bio, and its the same thing - very, very content heavy.

I mean if u really hate it then u don't have to pick it but some level of maths would be useful especially cause lots of degrees require at least standard. But getting Cs and low Bs isn't that bad and u still have time to improve. Also it will give u a break from all the writing based subjects ur doing cause that can be a lot.

what maths do u take?

i think that even if you feel you are weak in maths, u still have literally 2 years to find a good tutor and improve i would say at least start with standard in year 11, and if you really feel like it's not working for you after a couple of terms, then drop it! i'm just saying that you should give yourself a chance in it, even if it isn't your strongest subject.

I don’t think so

 

[99.95dreams]

wait yea i think they are changing the syllabus. if im not wrong, my cohort is the last to have the option to do maths or not

 

[ilovetacobellalot]

maths isnt compulsary again!! idk ive always been a humanities person, so doing bio was already kinda the subject i forced myself to take for some variety haha, but i'll def consider standard math over hms

imo if you're 'forcing' yourself to do bio (i.e. if math and bio are at the same level of dislike) then I would pick math just so you got your bases covered with prerequisites and the like

but if u do like bio more then pick bio, just make sure ur okay with missing out on some uni courses for not doing math - it helps if you know what you wanna do for uni
many kids do super well without math, some kid in my school duxed their cohort without math, so don't let it get you down

math is just one of those you gotta rlly carefully consider!

(also wait I thought you had to start this year to do accel bio?)

and also also don't take my word for it this is very much hearsay but I heard some rumours that in some ways, modern history is more useful than legal studies for law bc you can always learn specific laws and policies in uni but modern history gives u a solid foundation/better critical thinking (also modern scales better haha) so if modern was smth you were considering then there's that
