[Lycan]

when you say triple science, do you mean your have to do Biology Chemistry and Phyics, because thats a Double Science - not a Triple - its all todo with what they mark and what they don't

[issaa.]

Taking a Hairdressing and Beauty vocational collage course. ^^
And Lycan, Double and Triple science are different.
In triple science you take Biology, Chemistry and Physics for a GCSE,
And have more lessons.

Tom xx
You only get THREE other options?! jeez, thats a bit steep
i chose french [which is compulsory, either that or spanish:evil: with the mother of all evil, mrs pithouse] double science, art, geog and pe [on top of core pe]

[OMGitsaROSS]

I chose:
Block one: Science
Block two: Geography
Block three: ICT
Block four: Bus. Studs.

[Polly-alyssa]

ur lucky we have 8 compulsory, we can only do 11 gcses total, so therefore we an only choose 3 thtz so unfair

[NIKKEE]

PE we have to do twice a week, and if we take PE we do it every day

maths, a language and one science, SE and RME aswell

but we dont have exams for RME anymore

we do something else

i chose, biology, art & design, graphic communication, history and music.

also, i didn't pick PE :]

so i'll only be getting it twice, which sucks, cause i hate it

and the language im taking is german, because i find it really easy

woulda been taking latin if i had showed up for it, now i sorta wish i had

although nowadays, it doesn't help you get a better job, so i guess it's ok

so, yeah :]

[Kotu]

Geography's a piece of pie at GCSE, be prepared for the long Geography exams though. There was only two when I did it but they can get very tedious.

Studying a language is a good option - it always looks good if you have an understanding of a modern forgien language... if you're willing to put in the effort. You can't expect it to be something you learn within a few weeks, and can slack off for the rest of your GCSE course.

I had to do: English, Science, Maths, P.E, and Religion.

The options I selected were: Graphics and Product Design, ICT, Business, Geography and German.

I'm studying AS levels now.

[Josh-H]

Damn I hate doing RE its also compulsory at our school, also Im not much of a PE person but Its not compulsory, In DT I am going to choose graphic design :)

[beth]

Lol - sounds like you guys got a better choice then i did when i was in yr 9,

agh - I've Already Done Statisitics Maths - thats a 1 yr maths gcse, now this yr i have to get the proper maths and i'm not doing so well

GNVQ is fun.... theres no point in cheating

nah i know theres no point in cheating, but heh. who cares? I just gotta retake it ;]

[Infrontation]

I'm choosing the following:
RE Short Course [Compulsary]
English [Compulsary]
Maths [Compulsary]
Physical Education [Full Course]
Chemistry
Biology
Business Studies
ICT
History

[Jane]

I dunno if someone already answered this cos I'm too lazy to look through the thread :p

In single, double & triple science you do chemistry, biology and physics. The difference is with single science you get 1 GCSE double you get 2 and triple you get 3. If you want to do science at A Level you have to do either double or triple science.
