geography, history, business (2 year course) & production

along with all the compulsory ones I picked,
media, food tech (BIGGEST REGRET EVER), art, french, geography
but because I was in my second year of media in year 10 I couldn't do art so I was forced to do business studies which was very boring but kinda easy

paramore, no disrespect to you as I believe it to be a national thing, but those GCSE's seem completely pointless :L
I took Stats, Music, PE and Triple Science (and a language, but that was compulsory). PE and music were purely for my enjoyment - love sport and music (don't get me wrong I am very athletic and musical, just I took them for the laugh).

Was just merely questioning them, as that wouldn't make them options :L I wondered if you were saying they were compulsory at your school or something :)

I picked Business Studies because it was all CourseWork [im **** at exams] but they've changed that know at my school
I also picked Health & Social Care which is absolutely ****. Me and my friends picked it because the teacher lied to us-
We will have loads of fun she said. I was bored within the first 30 minutes of the first ever lesson. The only parts i did enjoy was year 11 because we were on the computers all of the time typing up CourseWork.

This is how Scottish Schools work:

secondary (high school) 1 - 6
Do you not leave primary until year 7? :O
Yeah primary school for 7 years then high school for 6

It doesn't really, though. I took music and PE - yet don't want to work in either industry. Meanwhile, I would love to work in banking or the financial corporate side of consumer electronics - yet at GCSE did not take Business, Add. Maths or anything else like that.

I actually picked in year 8 because my school was amazing. I picked business (btec), ICT (dida or some ****) and separate/single/triple science. I regret taking both bsuiness and ICT.
Cerys
20-07-2013, 04:59 PM
i feel awkward with only saying two options *EVEN THO THATS ALL WE PICKED IN YR 8 ETC* so yeah: i have got/will get geography, german, law, product design, chemistry, biology, physics, pe, it, maths, English and a few more. we do them all in 1 year ;/ SO TRIPLE SCIENCE IN 1 YEAR NEXT YEAR. HOW FUNFUNFUN.

I also chose back in year 8.
History, Sociology, Spanish and Additional Science (two more modules than core, end up with two GCSEs out of it).
Spanish was the bane of my life, L-O-V-E-D History but got a D, Sociology was my favourite and I carried it on to A-Level, Additional Science was alright I guess.

At my school we got 4 options to pick.
Because I wanted to do Triple Science that took away an option since it needed an extra lesson over Double Science.
Then we had to pick a Design and Technology subject, so I had to pick ICT pretty much.
Then because I had already completed French GCSE, I had to do A-Level French in Year 10, so that was another option.
So with one option left, I went for Geography :)

In my school in NZ the compulsory subjects for year 9 were:
English
Maths + Statistics
Science
Social Studies (Geo and History)
Health
PE
Technology (computer, food, fabric + wood)
Arts (music, drama, art + something else cant remember)
and one option either French, Maori or General Studies (graphics and more tech stuff). I chose French but probably should've done General Studies but I'd just moved to the country and didn't want to be split up from the like one person I knew so I did French with her.
Technically I chose my year 9 options for England before I moved here so I chose NCI (advanced ICT), Business Studies and Art.
I picked two lots (After completing year 9 in uk then having to do it again in australia fro half a year).
The ones i picked in Aus were:
Drama
English
Sose
Health
Woodwork
German
Maths
Pretty boring year tbh, was forced to do Drama too. I don't remember what I did in England lol
history, rs, german. ict short course was compulsory.
