What GCSE 'Option' do you regret taking?

[Special]

Everyone has to pick 3 or 4 GCSE options to carry on in year 10 & 11

Also, everyone (or the one they least enjoy) has one or more they regret taking - which one is yours?

Mine has to be Spanish. It's really hard & you have to remember loads of writing for the final exams.

when i did my gcse's (about a year ago) i took geography as one
that is the one i regret taking the most

[dirrty]

economics hands down. i only took it as my mum said i should, and i deffo didn't enjoy it. i managed to get a C in it though which is alright, but considering i got an A in the coursework says that i failed the exam hardddd.

nice sig btw, eh? ;)

[ecstasy]

geography. it sucks so much cause im stuck with the **** teacher

[DJ-Ains.T]

sociology :|

[Callum.]

I wish I tried harder in Science and done double science.

[Smits]

i regret taking french, not that it matters now haha, while back.

[Swastika]

cooking, absolutely no point what so ever lol, good crack tho.

[LoveToStack]

I'm not sure what the scottish equivalent of english GCSEs are but I think it's standard grades/ int 2s. If that is the case then probably spanish. They made taking a language compulsory in our school and I got A1s in every other subject except spanish, for which I achieved no grade lol. Admittedly I could have achieved a high pass if I tried but it was more out of spite than anything else, not that my failing has changed the system in any way.

German. Why the hell did I ever take German? S'pose because it was quite easy pre-GCSE. Guess it could have continued to be easy if I actually tried. I just messed around all the time, lol. Oh well, it was fun.

Same for me but in different subjects, Exams let me down a lot, and coursework im really good at :/

Off topic:
Oh my gosh, i didn't even notice that

I got it from a Lady Gaga fan site like my avatar, did you do the same? If not, that's a bit weird

naw i made the sig lol.

i'm the same. coursework is my strong point as i can improve and improve until i get a decent grade, whereas in an exam you've got one shot and if you don't do well then tough luck! the same with electronics where i got an A* in the coursework, and a C overall. the coursework was worth 60% lol...

[[Chris]]

ICT and Systems & Electronics

Aha.

[Nixt]

French fer sure. It was awful. Although I did spend two years terrorising the teacher and getting a lot of fun out of it, so it's not too bad!

Same as this :P I hated French but I wanted to learn it. I'd like to say it was worth it and I can speak some French but I'll tell you this - sitting in a classroom definitely is not an effective way of learning a language.

[clueless]

i actually loved my 3, media art and history
i was going to take them all on for a level but didnt do a level in the end

[Rozi]

I regret taking DT (resistant materials) just because there's too much coursework :( I can do it but it just takes so much timmmmme.

[Shcl]

FRENCH!!!!! and artttt

[Oleh]

all 3 of mine to be fair, i wouldn't have took any if it was available, unless ICT wasnt mandatory then id pick that

[Circadia]

non since i havent started mine yet but i will be only be choosing one GCSE option which is music the rest are b-tecs luckly i like music :}

[Blinger1]

For my VCE (the highest level of secondary school education you can get in victoria) i don't really regret taking anything. I did do a lot of easy subjects though, like wood-work, photography, german and IT (that was major bludge)... =s

[Arron]

I chose 2 GCSE subjects. I regret taking P.E. I was great at practical, sucked at theory.

[iAdam]

I regret taking History as it's so crap tbh, It was fine when it was interesting history.

[Nicola]

Art.

There was wayyyyyy too much work and I have to work really slowly when it comes to Art so it took extra time :(

[Xoim]

Art, This teacher I had was so annoying and onl favoured certain pupils, sadly I wasn't one of them, so she never tried her best to help when I needed it.

[RandomManJay]

I don't have a GCSE regret, but I have an A-Level regret. Physics, wish I'd dropped so I wouldn't have a U on my education record :S. There was only 4 people in my class and the 1 person who passed got an A, the rest of us got U's xD!

[Andys]

history.
it's so boring.

[AgnesIO]

I wish I tried harder in Science and done double science.

Double Science? Don't you HAVE to do that?

In my school everyone does double, and some us who are bright do triple?

[Special]

all 3 of mine to be fair, i wouldn't have took any if it was available, unless ICT wasnt mandatory then id pick that

In my school you can take ICT as a GCSE option


non since i havent started mine yet but i will be only be choosing one GCSE option which is music the rest are b-tecs luckly i like music :}

Be warned, in my school Music comes with alot of coursework, but no so much if you do BTEC

[AlexOC]

I have 2 options. Business and Communications and an It Diploma worth 7 GCSEs alone (took up 2 options, go to college all day)

Don't regret taking any of them. Doing well in both.

[Homosexual]

Graphics. It's rubbish and I don't learn at all :\

[BeanEgg]

I'm was fine with all 4 plus my cores (maths, english, sciecne and citizenship) but I hated FRENCH!!!

[syko2006]

I regret taking media studies. I hate it so much, it's boring.

I should have picked music. :(

[crazed]

Music, I don't really know why I took it, I had no skill at playing instruments and I knew nothing of music from any era..

[Nuxty]

Mandarin! I have no clue why the hell I even picked this... load of crap. Trying so hard to drop it. :(

[Jam]

Graphics or as it wasn't advertised: Graphic Products.

[Wig44.]

French and food tech. I *Removed* a round in both of them and still got good grades though. (Well a C in french isn't good but I suppose most people are happy with that).
