I'm currently choosing subjects for my HSC next year, and I'm going back and forth between History and Drama. I am very good at memorising facts but i have a passion for acting as well. I'm taking EAD, Legal Studies, Society and Culture, General Mathematics and Economics. My school requires me to take up 6 subjects. So i guess the only way for me to decide is to know which of the two subjects scale better.

History would scale better, but it's less fun

You'd be surprised. It actually doesn't.
Yes.

I love the Pakenham line
If you're just going by scaling, then do Modern History. Scales a lot better than Drama.
Tbh neither scale particularly well, and while scaling is important, choose something you will like as it makes studying easier.
