How many GCSE's do I have?

I've Just been asked for how many GCSE's I have and I don't know how to reply.
These were the subjects I passed in

Maths, RE, Geography, History, Science, BTEC PE, English, ICT, Economics , Ad Science, core science

So my question is, is ad science two or one? Is it separate to the normal science? Can PE be counted as a gcse ? Triple science, is that three separate GCSEs or one?

Thanks in advance, michael

I count 10

...and Triple Science is three separate GCSEs in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Additional and Single Sciences count as one each.


So BTEC counts as a GCSE?

BTECs don't count as a GCSE. Its another qualification. I counted 10 too (doesn't include the PE one) You have 10 GCSEs. Triple science counts for 3 GCSEs.

BTEC P.E however, is equivalent to a GCSE and colleges/unis/jobs tend to look for GCSE level or Equivalent :smile:

Also, most universities for most courses only look for at least 5 GCSEs at grade A*-C (i.e. a pass) so don't worry you'll be fine ^-^
