Quinn 643 Posted July 15, 2013 So, I'm going into year nine next year and need to choose my options. Which is scary, since this will probably govern a large portion of my life. My school breaks up this weak, giving me a nice six weeks to think about it, but I'd love some advice if anyone would be kind enough to give it to me. tl;dr help confused scrub choose lyf Quote Share this post Link to post
Wist 376 Posted July 15, 2013 What do you like doing? Languages? Maths? Do triple science and language, only shit worth doing at GCSE that is worth half a fuck later on Also don't fail, GCSEs are easy if you try even a little bit Quote Share this post Link to post

Quinn 643 Posted July 15, 2013 I love maths and science (definitely taking triple), I also enjoy learning german and french, but I'm not sure which one to take if not both, I also plan on taking GCSE Drama. Quote Share this post Link to post
UnSeen 1,036 Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) 1. Can't help you choose your options unless you tell us what your options are. 2. In general it should always be what you enjoy the most and are strongest at, friends and teachers aside. 3. Art for Artisticzombie. Though in all seriousness, as long as you keep a wide range of subjects and don't just bum off the easy topics, GCSE's don't affect your carreer choices to that much of an extent and although for some it is much more troublesome...I didn't have any issues with choosing. Just as I said before, don't pick a topic due to friends [if you have any] or because of a teacher who you think is better because that doesn't help you enjoy the subject itself. EDIT : Due to my set, I have no choice but to take Triple Science, Maths, Further Maths, English, English Lit..etc. Though for choices I chose Spanish, Geography, History and Sports Studies.

Scrooge 0 Posted July 15, 2013 If you do enjoy science then triple science is a must. And languages as well. Simply because they are actually recognised as a good subject in the future and not something shit on the side like 'business' - which is a waste of time Quote Share this post Link to post
it'sFluffySnot 0 Posted July 15, 2013 GCSE drama is mostly writing, you rarely get to act and when you do it's usually in an "exam" with a bunch of penis faces that keep laughing and lower your grade. Quote Share this post Link to post
Daffy Duck 155 Posted July 15, 2013 All I will say is: Pick something you will enjoy. The worst thing you can do is pick something you absolutely hate because you'll think it'll help you. It will just waste your time. Secondly, Just don't worry about it so much! GCSEs are important, absolutely (a lot of University courses require you to have certain GCSEs etc) but just relax and take it cool. you'll be fine :D Quote Share this post Link to post
it'sFluffySnot 0 Posted July 15, 2013 Also it doesn't matter what you chose for year 9 because you can change it before year 10. Just chose the things you think you like, then if you don't like them change them. Quote Share this post Link to post
Britten 11 Posted July 15, 2013 My school breaks up this weak LOL Anyway what I have found is that the technology subjects are my favorite and I have chosen to do one each year, also I thought that options were in year 10 and 11 not year 9 :? Quote Share this post Link to post
Doomblade94 50 Posted July 15, 2013 Antizombie, the one and ONLY thing you should be worried about is the Freshman Hunt. Quote Share this post Link to post
Ameme 0 Posted July 15, 2013 You really should do something creative, it can be much use in many jobs. I to had problems with my options switching from option to option - however I struggled to choose besides geography and art but my school were helpful enough to give you art as a 5th option, not sure if this is possible for you but its worth talking to someone about it. My options then ended up with: Sport Studies, History, French, and Geography. Quote Share this post Link to post
