I'd be total against, business, as it's mind numbingly dull! But it'll be an eAsy grade I guess, but prepare to be bored!!! As for geography, the physical side is interesting for me, but human parts are boring so you'll have to bare some bits
history is brilliant 
and so is a language, I'm doing French though

Re: what gcse subjects did you choose to study for options?It doesn't matter too much what subjects you take at GCSE (the important ones are English and Maths), so those options are fine. It's best to pick what you enjoy.(Original post by ergo30)

Those options sound sensible - overall you have to pick subjects you enjoy.
I chose: History, Drama, Media Studies and French.
we sat it in year nine instead

Re: what gcse subjects did you choose to study for options?Not even joking, that's exactly what I took! Although, I do have to say that while Business is relatively easy, it can be quite boring.. I don't mind Business to be honest, but I reckon that's just down to the teacher I have.(Original post by ergo30)

Don't worry about "better" subjects; as long as you're happy with what you've taken and you don't **** around in the lessons, you'll be fine. I don't think you really need to concentrate on the merit of each subject until A-levels - and this is coming from a GCSE student!

Re: what gcse subjects did you choose to study for options?Lucky you! The language was compulsory for us - Japanese year 7, then either Spanish or German alongside French years 7-9 (I chose Spanish) and then had to choose at least one language for 10 and 11 - could be French, Spanish, Russian, Italian or Japanese. I chose French. So I sat French and Spanish GCSE year 9.(Original post by shadab786ahmed)

Re: what gcse subjects did you choose to study for options?At GCSE your grades don't matter, as long as you do English and Maths. At this stage you should choose the options that you enjoy most and would do best in, and then aim for the best grades you possibly can.(Original post by ergo30)

I did:
Graphics
Textiles
History
But we had to take Spanish
I have no regrets doing history, its seen as a more academically challenging subject so looks goid in the future. I went on to do it at A level too so yeah, I'd say do that.
Graphics was the stupidest thing I ever did, but it was easy.
