Okay, so I am not sure if this forum is still running but I'm torn between history extension and English extension 2. I am leaning more towards history but am unsure. Do you have any tips for making that decision or seeing if the history extension course is right for me?
Subject selection is always a pretty subjective process, so you'll have to draw on your own personal interests and experiences. However, from my personal experience as a English Advanced and Modern History student, I found History Extension the most fun by far of all my subjects.
You've probably heard this many times, but History Extension really is nothing like Modern, Ancient or Mandatory History. I'd describe it as much more philosophical and research orientated, so if you're into that sort of thing you'll love it. If you read through some of the posts in this forum, you'll get a better understanding of what it's like, particularly the debate thread:
https://atarnotes.com/forum/index.php?topic=170485.0Obviously I'm biased since I enjoy History much more than English, but I really do recommend giving History Extension a try if at all possible. Maybe someone here can give a more balanced perspective, but hope this helps!
EDIT: Please do look at katie,rinos's resources, they provide a much more comprehensive overview than anything I said here
