Just wondering how much you need in this exam to pass if you did a good research topic? Not trying to slack or anything but have an awful stomach bug and will struggle to get anything done

Assuming you got 75/100 in research topic you'll need another 125 marks

There's no need for the course to be so huge even with an RSR, regret picking history so much

Loved History at JC and got an A. Then at about January of 5th Year I regretted keeping it on. My overall points are going to suffer because of this subject.

I love history but not this subject. I am taking risks not because I'm lazy or I want to but because there is literally no way to learn everything.

It is very much possible to learn everything for a topic, via notes or revision book, but you end up losing finer details in everything which will leave you writing very little per essay. So you either learn a lot on a little or learn a little on a lot.
