    Cool, looks like you’ve got it all planned 
    Taken me ages to shortlist it. But I have always had the thought of working for the NHS in my mind.

    For my Nat 5s which are like GCSES I chose Music, Modern Studies (which is like a mix of politics, sociology and the legal system) and, English, Maths and Psychology.

    For my highers which are like A-Levels I did all of those minus the maths - I couldn’t do higher maths aha.

    Modern Studies sounds really interesting (except for Politics!)

    If you are unsure, there are career offices that are really good and they can send you on like weekend tasters and stuff

    @Millie2787 that’s a shame I bet that’d have been good. This year is basically a write off for events and stuff aha.

    The way that my school has set out the way that you must choose GCSE options is confusing. 

    Firstly you must choose a PE subject (Sports Leadership, Dance Leadership or Duke of Edinburgh.)

    Then you must choose Citizenship or Religious Studies. 

    Then you must choose History, Geography or a language as your first choice but you can only do the language that you have studied in Year 7, 8 and 9. Also, you can choose History, Geography and the language or a combination but it would limit your other options.

    You can only choose Fine Art or Photography or Textiles (not compulsory.)

    You can only choose Business, Enterprise or Economics  (not compulsory.)

    You can only choose ICT Cambridge Nationals or Computer Science (but you can only take Computer Science if recommended by your Year 9 teacher.) Neither are compulsory.

    You can only choose Triple Science if you have been recommended by your Year 9 teacher.

    Some students are recommended to take one less subject or do Study Support.

    Oh god. Let's not talk politics here lmao. 
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 9,729 Supreme Poster
    @Kasa2103 wow my mind is blown. That is very very confusing.

    I had columns to chose mine from which had a few subjects in them that I had to chose from. It was quite limiting as well.

    Ahh that really sucks.
     Can you be involved with next year planning?

    Seems unfair to give you options but limiting your options to the point where you barely have any 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Politics and PDE was my worst subject. It was only half a GCSE

    The subject I studied was more like how the political systems and voting worked, not about the actual news. It was really interesting it gave me some insight into how it worked so I can interpret the news better.
