If so, why?
I don't really regret the ones I've chosen, they're things I like and I'm generally good at, so...

I regret taking French and History to be honest. I think I've done well in both but I haven't really enjoyed either, maybe History a bit but French has been awful. I wish I would've been able to take Drama and Media Studies but I had to choose one.

No, GCSE's weren't challenging and won't get you anywhere specific in life.

That's alright. You don't even need a job now. Just get pregnant when you leave school. The government will put a roof over your head and give you more than enough money, so you'll never need to work a day in your life!

Not at all.
I took Music, Drama, ICT & French.

I regret not being able to take Dance [I did ask if I could do an extra one but was refused] however I wouldn't have traded anything for it.

I regret taking German, because I absolutely hated it and it was so difficult for me.. But I worked hard in the end and I got a B. But I rather would've done something else.

Yes I wish I didnt take History and Business.... Business i got an E in and was my only deemed fail... would have done Geograpghy instead.

And I regret my ICT A Level choice, but come 2 weeks time, I will have my exam and then drop it and never EVER do it again as im dropping it and keeping Media, Film and Photograpghy.

I think maybe I should have chosen Food or ICT at GCSE. However I did enjoy the choices I did.. RE and Geography and usually Drama but in Drama just got nervous because of all the popular people and that.

Stacey.

We have to do ICT nowadays, i dont get it :\

Lol I did that until year 9.. then didn't do it at GCSE.. and I have only done ICT in Key Skills.. however I think I should have done it at GCSE because a lot of jobs nowadays require IT skills. However in the job I do.. only use a computer to scan things and that's it.. but still ICT skills are beneficial eventhough at times seem boring.

no not really actually. I really hated French but I was forced into it and the other three I generally enjoyed/found easy so it's all good.

haha Junior Cert in Ireland is the equivalent to GCSE, I did 11 subjects and did pretty well. I don't regret anything :)

Spike

Yes. Only the one subject. French.
I found it so hard,was way out of my depth and just found it awful for 2 years.
Somehow I got a C, I really don't know how because I was just so crap at it.

I regret taking Geography, I did awfully at it in my GCSE's. Awful Teacher i had, she spent ages teaching us stuff that wasn't even on the paper, 90% of the questions i was stuck on because she hadn't taught us it. I failed at it, I got a F in it.
Everything else i got a good grade in apart from Geography.
I didn't even put down i took Geography on my enrollment form for college.
