NEED ADVICE: chem or history

okay so i have a problem here

i did really bad in my chem years, i got a D+ despite studying hard
i have a B sac average
after this awful performance i basically gave up for chem and didnt learn much for unit 4 and right now, i barely know anything

i also have history which i have a B sac average and chem and history exam are on the same day
history requires A LOT of reading and memorising and im thinking i should ditch chem entirely, even risk a UG to focus on history and possibly get a very good score.

what should i do?
i only have two days study time after methods exam until chem and history

do not sacrifice chem entirely. too big a risk, and history is hard to do well in.

Yeah history is so arbitrary that you're going to get a lot better returns out of studying for chem.... (I have the same issue)
