Legal studies or History

[Cate McCashin]

Hi everyone, so subject selections for year 11 are coming up and I'm choosing between legal studies and history (20th century for y11 and revolutions for y12) for my sixth subject. I'm planning on doing methods, literature, chemistry, bio 3/4 and spec?, so I was thinking it would be a good idea to add a humanities subject to the mix. Both legal studies and history sound really interesting but I also don't want to do anything too difficult because I don't want to end up with a unmanagiable workload. So I was wondering if anyone has done/is doing legal studies and history and could tell me what the content and workload is like.
Thanks!

Doing history same way. Fairly fast pace and large-ish workload. You go through quite a lot of stuff; my class we were hard at work most classes, plus a bit of homework. So a reasonable workload, but as it's a sixth subject (I'm doing four this year) I don't know if it's wise. Sorry, haven't done Legal Studies either.
