anyone also did this?

So basically, I wanted to take triple science in sec 3 over pure humans, which I did, however, I chose history elect over geog elect. my friends are saying that i should have went with geog elect, since i got 85%~ for the eoy in sec 2, but i felt like history elect would be far more interesting even though I barely got A2 for history, and I felt like geog was just common sense to me. anyone got a much lower grade for a subject but still decide to take it anyway?
