I don't know what its like now, but when I did exams history and geography were both considered 'heavy' subjects which took alot of time, so you may be best missing out history if you are already doing geography. (I did geography at A level- my fav!) ITC may be useful, but I imagine you use the computer alot anyhow and my daughter did ITC and said it was more about how the computer works rather than how to work it! Art can be fun, but only if you have a bit of an aptitude, same as music.Food Tech- always good to know how to cook etc. Graphics textiles and RMT are new ones to me (I'm old y'see!) Best advise is take the other 2 which you either enjoy or are interested in (even slightly) or the ones which have teachers who make it interesting and therefore easier to learn!
