When I had to do my geography coursework on water, I regretted it so much due to how boring it was.
Still, I took History, Geography and Sociology- I like them, but regret geography to a small extent.

The actual title for Core Futures is "Certificate for the Preperation of Working Life" basically you learn about banking and money, first aid, university and how to apply for a job, writing a CV and other stuff like that! You are so lucky, the main reason I took geography was for natural disasters i thought that we would spend more time on that than rivers and coasts...

God I hate Preparation for Working Life. Last week I had to plan a route to an imaginary job interview and plan my outfit for said interview :rolleyes:

I should have taken history instead of geography. I think many many people share this regret, other than those who have dreams of working for the met office :frown:

I regret Geography. I would rather history.

For me it has to be Biology.

Whenever I started my GCSEs I wanted to do medicine or chem. eng. so I picked it as it obviously is a prerequisite for both of those subjects, so I done triple science.

However now that I'm nearly finished my GCSEs I don't want to do either of those things at uni and I think I would have done better with either Computing, Economics (which my school doesn't let you do if you also do Business studies) instead of Biology.

Yeah possibly... but it was only sort of after my GCSEs that I regretted it. Like in my A-levels and now in my degree I did/do a lot of History related stuff and I've got a renewed interest in it and sometimes think, it would have been nice to do History from the start. Still :smile:

We did written coursework a while ago and we went on a trip for it!! The trip was fun but the coursework took ages. On the trip the lessons went on until 10 some nights.

I had to do the same thing last week! So boring... But the teacher is really funny so that makes up for it a bit. He said that we're moving onto first aid in a few weeks and said that that's usually quite good :biggrin:
