Amber Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I have never liked studying socials (geography and history put together), and now I have to chose one of them. I dont know if i should take history or geography. I am a very sciency person, is geography a sciency course? Which is "harder" and which has the highest chance of getting a higher grade? I really want to do well, i just dont know which one to take. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ CAS Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I would suggest you follow your passion because that is what will ultimately drive you to get a high grade. Don't take something that you don't like just because most people do well in it. It will be a bad choice in the end. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Social studies isnt my passion, I am only taking it because it is recquired at my school to take either history or geography. I hate both, so I am stuck Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
masochist Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 My thoughts = geography. It is more scientific though the physical geography aspect is limited for some reason, as the IB course only covers very little. However it is still more numbers and statistics oriented and its less about mass essay writing. The exam situation is that you have to know lots of case studies and use them to justify/prove your explanations on various theories etc. Its not too difficult and I enjoy it a lot.Good luck w/ your subject picking! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caustica Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Geography: definitely more sciencey. I don't take this, though, so I can't be entirely sure. I actually avoided picking it because I didn't like the science aspect of it History: memorise, write, memorise, write. Analyse sources. If you like reading and writing, and if you have a good memory, and well, if history genuinely interests you, then you will love it. There is pretty much no science, though.From what I've heard, Geography is easier to get high marks in - but this is just hearsay. It really depends on what you like better...
