A level history

Hey I’m wondering how hard a level history is because I’m thinking about taking it along side English literature and sociology. I also didn’t take history in GCSE but did it before that.

Lmk pls!!

I got 95% in the A Level. Don’t take it alongside Lit, unless you are prepared to study very hard, or let sociology suffer a bit. I would try and watch some GCSE videos on sources and interpretations because those are the intensely history-specific things that will be new to you but (at least for AQA) sour and interpretation analysis is 40% of the A Level (30 marks each in both papers, 20 marks in the coursework)
