Finished my GCSE course last year.
I did English Lit, English Language, Maths, French, History, Geography, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Music. 10 in total, and I got mainly As, the odd A* and then two Bs as well.
Focusing on my A Levels at the moment, and everyone is going on about how they're important, GCSEs give you a base, etc. etc. so I'm trying to keep up with everything.
Anyway good luck with your GCSEs Sophie
