    I'm just curious to see how many GCSE's people are taking/ have taken. I'm taking 11, with another additional maths qualification and ECDL

    11 GCSEs (including an IGCSE) and an AS in Critical thinking. I dropped a subject too so others usually in my school get 12.

    I have 11, no retakes.
    Most of my GCSEs are very modular.

    Well, I did a short course in Citizenship which is equivalent to half of a full course GCSE.
