  1. ANYTHING is easier than history at A level. GCSE history was a breeze and then BAM the most excruciating nightmare lesson ever...sorry if that put you off.

    I did do psychology which might be more like your first choice and it was also a bit difficult compared to my other subjects but not as bad as History.


  2. Awww at Vipers answer!!  

    Depends on what you want to do after you left school.

    Good luck with them

  3. Sociology is MUCH easier. I did both (AQA sociology and OCR history) and sociology was so much easier. I got an A in sociology and a B in history, but history involved so much more work. History includes a piece of coursework at A2 where you must pick your own topic and question and do all the research alone without any help from your teacher (although OCR do suggest questions that you can use but it's not advised to use them). The exams involve a LOT of revision and hard work, at A2 two essays in 1 + 1/2 hours for one and a document paper and essay in 1 + 1/2 hours for the other. A LOT of hard work.

    Sociology is very easy if you can memorise studies and think for yourself. At least for me it was. There is no coursework (not for AQA) and in my opinion, although it's extremely interesting (one of my favourite subjects) it's an easy A.

  4. whatever you would be more interested in.

    Nothing you take will be a piece of p**s, just work hard at whatever you decide. I'll be proud of you anyway :))


  5. its not just what others have found easier... which one are you most interested in and have the best understanding in? as even if a subject is hard, if you understand it, and have a strong interest in it, you will find it easier anyway.


  6. Both are difficult. Do not trust anyone's opinion hat sociology is easier but not considered to be a real subject! There are lots of people out there that have this view and it's just not correct. History is the study of society in the past and sociology the study of society now. Both involve similar skills so go with whichever you enjoy the most.  

  7. sociology was easy but loads ov coarse work
