Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I'm a sophomore trying to decide between History SL and Geography SL for my group 3.</p>

<p>HLs: Physics, Chemistry, Math
SLs: English, French, _______</p>

<p>Pros & Cons</p>

<p>History:
I'm WAY more interested in the material for history than geography.
Easier 7 at my school, although both are pretty easy.
LOVE debating, model UN fanatic.
Don't have to do any mapping, YES !! </p>

<p>Geography:
I've heard that the geo teacher was better than the history teacher.
I am very bad at memorizing, and I guess geography's less memorization.
Been told that geography would be more applicable since I'm going into sciences.
Interested in some topics, about deserts, oceans, etc.</p>

<p>HELP. (:
- Thanks</p>

<p>History SL is 20th Century topics right? I’m an HL History person, so I don’t take that until next year [I’m in History of the Americas right now], but I’ve always heard IB seniors say it’s one of their favorite classes.</p>

<p>History SL is European History I believe.</p>

4

<p>History HL is HoA + 20th Century Topics.</p>

<p>^ That’s how it’s at my school, and most places, I believe. People who want a Humanities SL can take 20th Century their senior year.</p>

<p>I had a loooot of trouble deciding between the same two subjects, and I think I’m going to go for History, because it’s super rigorous at my school and I thought it would be fun to challenge myself. ^^</p>

<li>Good Job for being a MUN addict</li>
<li>Geo is about as good as History for sciences. It’s not like the Geo that we all grew up, as indicated the IB title. </li>
</ol>

<p>I would say go for Geo.</p>
