Picking GCSE's

[peterwill]

Like everybody has said already pick what you like, however pick what you are good at too!

Many people make the mistake of picking music/art/drama because they think that it's a free fun lesson that they can mess around in. But it just anonys other people when you have people messing around when you're trying to compose etc. So

Pick wisely...

When i picked my GCSEs i picked:

Business, IT, Sociology and Electronics

My school had a system of which after the first two weeks of year 10 you had the option of changing your subjects.

I didnt like Electronics and changed it for german.

Find out if your school offers a simmilar system and it kinda takes away a bit of the stress since its less "omg i have to decide my life NOW." since you get to test drive the subjects so you optimize your choices

Id make sure you pick a wide range of subjects, and not just pick all things are similar. At GCSE I chose Drama, French, History and Business Studies all of which are quite diffrent from each other. If you do this, it keeps your options open I guess


Just incase anyone is interested I chose History, Business, Law and English Lit for A Level.

dont pick stuff because your friends arnt doing it.

Music/Drama/Dance/Media Studies are really pointless to be honest, maybe not Music but especially Drama and the others - They will get you nowhere.

It's best to stick with History/Geography, I took them and Travel and Tourism because it's like extra Geography and there was nothing else to take.

Ill choose P.E, ICT, Geography and Art and maybe more..

ICT and P.E because Im excellent at both.

actually drama can show that you have confidents and if you want to do something in the drama area e.g. actor, teacher will obviously help.
