My Year 9 Options

[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.

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.
