GCSE Choices

[Twist]

Drama, Geography, BTEC & I.T.

Back-up subjects: History, Music.

Are the subjects I've chosen reasonably easy for GCSE? I was thinking about doing a D.T subject like Woodwork or maybe Buisness & Socialogy but looking at those choices I'm quite happy. Anyone else take these subjects for GCSE?

Geography must be the easiest subject in the world, I didn't do any revision at all for my mocks, and got 92% and 98% in my mocks, all you have to do is remember the most simplest information, that's it. Personally, I find the lessons really boring because the work is so easy, and I spent around 50 minutes doing nothing since all the work is complete. It's a good choice

I do IT aswell, and it was pretty good for Year 10 when I had a good teacher, but now it's crap because my teacher is just plain awful and all of our coursework has stacked up and we have like three weeks to do it :/ Personally, I found that in IT I didn't learn anything new, I hardly even did any normal work, all I've really done is coursework through both of the two years, despite their being an exam at the end of the year. It's a good subject to take, but the coursework takes forever - I only chose it because we had to pick a Design/Technology subject.

Which BTEC did you take?
I didn't take any of those subjects, excecpt for ict which was required, and i'm finding it kinda hard.

I found Geography boring. I'm doing A Level Sociology and I find it the easiest A Level ever (some of it is common sense with keywords) and I never took the GCSE so I can't comment on the GCSE but I wouldn't have wasted the space if you don't need it for studying the A level.

Which BTEC? My brother wants to do BTEC Sport.

Do something you enjoy. I cant stress that enough.

Unless you're planning on working in McDonalds for the rest of your life and not carrying on your education further - the subjects for GCSE are not important in the slightest. GCSE's are simply the key to getting your A levels so dont pick an academic subject that you think,
"Oh, that will help me in my career." As that's the biggest mistake I made. I picked two subjects that I thought would be very helpful and I regret doing them 100%. There's only 2 subjects (one optional, the other not) that I look forward to at school.

Don't worry about how hard they are, how easy... I would focus 100% on how fun the subjects are to you.

Try not revising for A level geography

And I agree with Crimson, GCSEs are uneccassarily hyped-up beyond belief.
