Seperate Sciences.

[sock]

I knoew this is the wrong section but meh, Anyway, I wanna become a pilot when i'm older, and this year i need to choose my options, anyway, I'm not sure if I really need the 3 GCSE's. I know I need Chemistry and Physics, but I will feel i'm wasting 5 hours a fortnight doing Biology. However, If I don't take the seperate sciences, I will get a Core Science GCSE at year 10 then get to choose a science in year 11, which will be Physics, However I don't know if I will need the GCSE for Chemisty on its own or will just the Core and the Physics do?

At my school we don't get a choice, we do science modules. 6 modules with Chemistry, Biology and Physics in all 6 exams aswell as a pre-release exam so 7 in total. 4 in year 10, 3 in year 11. It might just be because my school is Science Specialist and we have Science every day of the week in KS4 :/

It doesn't matter what so ever what GCSE's you do as long as you have some science you can pick physics and chem up at A level when it matters. So yeah you can't rule out any careers by picking a levels you obviously have no idea what is needed to become a poilt.

I take triple sciences now and have the same job ambitions as you, I love Triple. It's possibly the best decision I've made in my life so far, you won't regret it. If you want more info pm me

Youll regret taking it... i took triple award science at my schoool and half of the people quit the course....

too many reasons to go into, but you get the picture.

Do the triple, not some Mickey Mouse course.

What i've decided to do is.

geography
P.E
Product Design

In year 11 I get to pick 1 sciecne to sudy which will be Physics for me, and then after year 11 I will study Physics and Maths most likely at college then progess from there. I think I have made the right decision in not taking an interest in Seperate Sciences. As I could be doing something ebtter instead of doing Bioligy which I really feel I don't need.

Should have took science, they are easy peasy. I took my mocks last week and was predited a B in all of them, and i didnt even reavise :/

Lol at whoever said half the class fell out.

The thing is, I don't need or want to do Biology or Chem. At my school the seperate sciences takes up 15 out of 50 lessons per fortnight.
