    Re: Rank Your GCSES in order of Enjoyability
    I would have to say:

    Spanish (1)
    English Lit (2)
    English Language (3)
    Art (4)
    History (5)
    Maths (6)
    Science (Double Award) (7)

    Not even bothering with the BTECs, as they are a waste of space.

    1. Spanish
    2. ICT
    3. Religion
    4. Maths (only when we actually do maths, rather than reading powerpoints)
    5. English Language
    6. English Lit
    7. Biology
    8. Chemistry
    9. Geography

    Bold are the ones I don't absolutely hate. Pretty much regret choosing biology, chemistry and geography.

    You took Biology and Chemistry and not Physics at GCSE-I didn't know that was permitted by the exam boards.

    I'm not sure if it was a problem then, when I was choosing my GCSEs my school only required you to choose one science subject. This year though I was having a look through the website and now you have to choose either double award or triple award.

    How similar are Statistics and Maths? and what is the coursework like?-just wondering because I would've liked to have been given the opportunity to study for more than one maths GCSE.

    6.Maths- Easy, teacher lets us talk and relax.

    7.ICT- Easy, but boring.

    8.RS- Ditto.

    9.Chemistry- Bit harder, dull. But my teacher's good!

    10. Physics- Dull, bad teacher.

    11. French- Veryverydull. Yet I'm doing it at A level. *sigh*

    Chemistry- 4. My teacher makes you enjoy it, he is EPIC
    I could do with a Chemistry teacher like yours. I'm in Year 9 but the whole year have already started their GCSE's cources, I'm in the triple set and I'm really confident of doing well in Biology and Physics, but Chemistry is one I don't really enjoy. I've tried self-teaching with the OCR textbooks, but It's not enough.

    Re: Rank Your GCSES in order of Enjoyability
    I did more than 5 so I'd have to rank them 1-10

    1. Product Design
    2. Science / Additional Science
    3. Geography
    4. Art
    5. French
    6. ICT
    7. English Lang / Lit
    8. Maths

    While I was good at maths and didn't mind the subject, the people in my class were really irritating. Product Design was a total doss and all my friends were in the class so that was my most enjoyed subject by far at school.
