Come to the Current Year 11 thread broooo.

Oh and I am doing Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, Physics.

Maths is what I wanna do at uni, hence the choice of maths, further maths and physics; so I enjoy them as well (that is why I want to do it at uni). And then Chemistry is a good traditioonal subject and I am very good at it (science are my best subjects by far (and German - but I don't want to do 5)).

Hope that helps.

they sound like interesting subjects but i'm still in year 10 .

A lot of people who don't even care for maths or aren't good at it seem to just take it just because it's maths. Good thing that the other 'core' subject English isn't taken so often- I think we know which is the better one.

Thats higher than a lotof subjects

I'm taking English language, English literature, psychology, photography and law.

I seem to be a bit of an anomaly, no maths or science

[skittlesaremydrugs]

biology, chemistry, physics and one non science subject that really depends on my results, at the minute it looks as if its going to be philosophy and ethics.

.....As you can tell I'm really not much of a science kind of person

Sorry, but are you insinuating English isn't a core subject? Yet, without English, you wouldn't be able to express your views thoroughly, and even be able to speak in proper, coherent sentences.

That is not what I am insinuating at all mate! You have got the wrong end of the stick I'm afraid.


What I meant by the inverted commas is that even though it is a core subject (which it obviously is) it isn't taken at A-Level frequently.

And to be fair what you have said that English allows can be done by everyone in my school by at the very latest Year 9. I don't know about other schools but from what I have seen it doesn't take even a GCSE to do that - never mind an A-Level.

Apologies then! Surely you can argue that point about many subjects though, take maths for example, at KS3 level I knew pretty much all I need to know in later life, since I do not intend to have a career directly related to maths (I plan to go into law), therefore I'm pretty sure I will not need to know about circle theorems and surds.

Fair enough. But, in terms of a hell of a lot of careers much more higher level maths (talking graduate level here) is needed for many real life applications; much more so than higher level English; though obviously it is helpful for Law.

I think it entirely depends what career sector you want to go into, but that's my opinion

Which type of History are you doing? Early Modern or Late Modern?

I'm gonna be doing Latin and Music too - doing Greek GCSE this summer but it's SO boring.

Early Modern - as it covers some of my favourite periods of history.

Im thinking of taking Maths, History, Religious Studies/Philosophy and Ethics(depending on whether they even teach it at my school) and something else - i want to be a lawyer - but i do not want to take english lang/lit

[LucyJ12]

Good for you, I would have chosen the Philosophy and Ethics course if it hadn't cut out medicine..
