I took french, german, history, latin, religious studies, art, single science and maths, englit, englang and stats were compulsary.

I'd deffo recommend a language at GCSE - it may be hard but it's a far more impressive GCSE than media studies or something! and a lot of unis (like cambridge and the top ones) require a GCSE foreign language!


i got 8As 3Bs (the Bs in art, latin and science!) and did no work. like literally the only thing i revised for was latin :S. Damn me not revising to get those A*s!!

Yeah my french teacher gave us a whole lesson on why we should take it.
It would be stupid of me not to because I want to get to university and a Language would help me do that.

My options:

Art - love it but not really that good.
Resistant Materials/Graphics - liked it at the start and am pretty good, but dont really enjoy the practical side of it, would chose something else if I had the option again.
Geography - love it!

The time has come..

I have to choose my options by Wednesday.

Right now i'm thinking about taking OCR National Award in Art and Design,Media,Sociology and Drama/Business.

Can you still change your mind after you hand the sheet in?

I did the compulsory stuff and chose

Business Studies
Art
Drama
Double Science

Really enjoyed all except Drama but that was because i couldn't and didnt want to act, still had a good laugh though
