ohh you have a whole year to practice, technically. 13/112 really isn't that bad.. and strengthening your line of argument is something pretty simple to work on. i'm sure your teacher wouldn't lie to your face xD you can get a tutor or some study guides on essay writing, and just work on it during the summer holidays or something.
history extension isn't that hard. it just involves a lot of reading but yeah.. it just means you have to do the work over a period of time and not cram it in the night before.
anyway, the course is pretty fun! basically you have a major project to do and coursework ('what is history' and whatever case study your teacher chooses). the project is reeally fun, and my topic was so interesting xD the whole course broadens your mind and really gets you thinking.. geography is craptacular in comparison
no offence to geographic people
