varus, don't panic, both have the capability to be interesting depending upon your attitude, your teacher's attitude and the resources that you use. Egypt isn't that bad!

I prefer to study Egypt because it holds my interest more, but i think Sparta is a better choice for the HSC because they were relatively basic and theres less to have to remember. The teacher I had last year did society 1 on Egypt and it was really interesting and I enjoyed it but my teacher this year did society 2 on Sparta and it is heaps easier to remember because everything was relativly black and white with them.

In my opinion, don't stress over this though, Sparta is better than Egypt. It is more interesting and lacks the reptitiveness of Egypt. Though Egypt has many of sources and I found them easy to remember which makes it good for a test.
Some parts of Egypt are interesting in their own right, but some completely bore.
