There all OK really, apart from French. You seem to have a varied range of subjects, which is good because it keeps your options open.

At my school Religion, Maths, English, Science, PE and ICT are compulsory. Compulsory PE leads to no qualification but compulsory ICT leads to half a GCSE. You can choose full course PE and ICT for a full GCSE.

I took

-Drama
-History
-Spanish [compulsary language as we are a stupid language college]
-Music

The only regret I have is taking Music. They bigged it up so much, and its nothing like you originally imagine.

Gah! Thank God I am leaving in *looks at counter in sig*....2 months and 11 days!

I'm taking Maths, English, English Lit., Biology, Chemistry, Physics, IT short course, graphics, german, latin, re and art.

I hate picking options. I've just done my mock SATS and now they're nagging us about options evening -.-. Pretty boring but hey here's what I'm choosing:

(Got to take these)
English
Maths
Science
PE

(I'm picking)

Performing Arts
Graphics
Geography
Art or drama (Ain't decided)

So yeah lol good luck to you on your options and good luck to me on mine! x]

i dont think ICT was hard.. we done a DIDA cours. its timeconfusing and you need to keep referring to the website for clear instructions, but we got a chance to get 4 GCSEs in ICT. its worth it tbh.

We started that this year for if we where going to take it next year. Can I just say that was the most boring thing I've ever done...Sorry but you had to make tables and stuff EUGH. So glad we finished that topic.

For my options I taken:

ICT (DIDA Course, equivelent to 2 GCSE's)
Business (Equivelent to 2 GCSE's)
Music
Electronics

I think the only choice I regret is probably Business since it is so freakin hard, really it's just shocking. 15 pieces of coursework.. I mean, hard much? I heard a few of you commenting on how ICT is hard and to be honest, it is too easy :P I did the DIDA D202 course (Compulsary was D201) and D202 I just flew through, it's really easy! D201 is a bit harder but not amazingly hard, as long as you know what some things are.. By the way I'm in year 11 right now. :P

Ive chosen:

Compulsory subjects:
Maths
English
Science Double Award
French
