    Well personally, I believe Geography is FAR easier. However, looking at your A Level combination, I would recommend taking History, since currently you have no essay-based subjects and having a mixture of essay-based and scientific/mathematical subjects is a major advantage when applying to university, since it demonstrates that you have a range of abilities, which is what universities are looking for. Plus, having a combination of essay-based and scientific/mathematical subjects also means that you are equipped for a much wider choice of degrees, should you change your mind at any point over what you want to apply for.

    So whilst History may be harder, I would recommend this in your case. However, having said that, if you are likely to get a significantly better grade in Geography, then you should take that, but if you are likely to get a similar grade in either subject, then you should take History! Best of luck with the A Levels!!

    you would pick the one that interests you th most. Would learn about the history of the olden days and study the olden times, or would you rather pick geography and learn about life in these days.
