    Last minute change with GCSE options..
    I had previously picked RE, Business and drama for next years options. We have done 1 year courses and i done History, Public Services and PE. For next year im having second thoughts, im thinking about sixth form and i want to do academic subjects. Geography interests me, Drama isn't that academic.

    Stick with Drama or change it to Geography?

    Cheers

    If you find geography more interesting and enjoy it more, do it instead of drama. You'll probably do better in something that you enjoy And obviously if you find drama more interesting/enjoyable, go for drama. It shouldn't really matter what options you choose for GCSE, so the fact that drama isn't that academic shouldn't matter too much

    Is it so last minute? Just checking since I have various friends who changed well into their courses.

    If Drama is something you enjoy then go for it. At the end of the day, if you're choosing, only choose Geography over something you enjoy if you see it as something you may do at A-Level. There's plenty of other 'academic' subjects you can take, and the fact you didn't choose Geography straight away says alot.

    Just go for Drama! Gut instinct! :grin:

    Do whatever will engage you more because then you'll have a better chance of getting a higher grade! It doesn't really matter until 6th form tbh
