i can take 3 gcse's out of, triple science art, catering, french, geography, hostory, home ec, pe, rm, textiles, business, creative media productions, health and social care, music and performing arts, what shall i take???
triple science is very useful. a bunch of A's and A*'s will serve you well. History is always a good one to have as well seeing as it's essay based and 'traditional'.
After that either French or Geography. I would do French (in fact I did take French). Foreign languages are sought after at a-level quite often so a GCSE base is essential to be able to take it at a-level.
What you like and what your good at, as well as any that will be needed in the future for university courses too. If you don't know what you want to do at university yet (and even if you do you'll probabily change your mind- I did!) be wary of taking ones with a lot of overlap like art, textiles and d&t. Your application will be stronger of you have a wider range with more applicable skills. Other than sciences and language courses there aren't that many ones that you'll need specific GCSE's for, and anyway A Levels are more important in terms of your uni application so you can sort out any hitches when you get to that. Other than that, GCSE's and A Level are almost like playing a game, and you'll benefit from playing to your strengths.
