URGENT ! IB subject choice - Geography SL or History SL

[Marysia]

Hey. I have to choose my ib subjects sby the end of this month  and I can't decide whether to take geography or history sl ?. Some other subjects that im taking are: Chemistry Hl, Biology HL, English A Hl, Spanish B SL, Maths Sl. Im not sure about what I want to do in the future, possibly sth to do with medicine or business. I just wanna keep my options open so which Group 3 subject  would you advise me to take??

Also, which one would you say is harder history or geo sl ?

Thanks is advance

Hey!

With your subject selection, I would recommend taking Geo SL.

At the end of the day it comes down to your personal interests but History SL is A LOT of work at home and since you have 2 science HLs I would recommend to not make your life harder than it has to be.

I take History HL and so I know that in the first year, the SL kids have to do almost as much as the HL in less time (due to having 2 fewer lessons a week).

I have heard Geo being described as "easier" than a lot of subjects so there is the possibility of maximizing your point score (in comparison to history where it is REALLY HARD to do amazing)

Good luck

Trust me, take geo hl. I take history hl rn and it is so hard, especially with all your other subjects, you'd rather choose an easier one so u have time to focus on ur harder ones. Geo is as capable of being used in business, probably more than history.
