DT, English x 2, Science double award, Geography, Greek and Latin next year!
Especially that double science bit! Any proper smart person would do the seperate gcse's!

why greek and latin adam, seems an odd choice? Certainly not the easy ones!
I only did the one english but most of the sciences, topped of with odd
ones like law, accounts and art.
Law and accounts are just odd ones to make the numbers up?! Quite glad I bumed through mine and only got 10 gcse's!
Although my geography
teacher refused to let me do an 11th. As he couldn't be ar$ed to teach me out of hours. He was too busy in the pub!

I'm quite gald I got the chance to do seperate sciences as it helped a lot with hetting onto engineering curses. Loughborough and Imperial gave
me a place over the phone once I told them my results for gcse and A level!
Likewise i got stuck with double science, it's an inaccurate reflection of your abilities, one for each discipline would be much fairer and more meaningful imho.
Makes a change to hear a young'un wanting to do maths & science - not many of you around these days...
...and the languages.
I worked with a German bloke who spoke around 5 or 6 languages - he reckoned that Latin was really useful for learning European languages.

Only got A-B in english. Was my worst result as it happens. Oh, and I'm just too lazy to spell check most days.

I take it you failed english then?![]()
LOL
It's still taught at my old school, but there wasn't enough interest to do it at gcse when I was at that stage. It was quite interesting, and as said, it helps no end with other european languages since they are at least partly based on latin.
