Hi, my impression is that History is easier to score than Geography, but requires a lot more reading.
Our school's upper secondary History curriculum: The world in crisis 1919-45 (The impact of WW1, The rise of the dictators, WW2 - causes & effects, Cold war), Understanding SEA 1900-independence (The Japanese in SEA, Colonialism in SEA, Rise of nationalism in SEA, Decolonisation & emergence of nation states)

How do I know if I should take History? (quoting from school handout)
Have an interest in the topic
Have an open mind
Be willing to work hard to master the content

son took elective history in upper sec...other than his interest in Japan, the rest of the topics were a torture.

Any positive feedback on Lit? I have less than 36 hours to persuade my daughter to do Lit not geography. Everyone says she should take Lit but she won’t believe them. She is an avid reader and an amazing writer.

actually my daughter's tutor advised her to take literature because it doesn't require intensive studying.
although my girl has been passing literature, she doesn't want to take it in sec 3...otherwise it's one subject less to study but still count towards o levels.
we would need to submit the subject combination form next week.

My daughter took Lit in upper sec and enjoyed it. But I think that it really doesn't work to persuade a child too hard to take any subject. They need to feel it's their choice. If she is an avid reader, then she isn't missing out much as she will continue to read and write on her own time. I took Geog and it's always been a pet subject of mine, so I can't say anything negative about it!
