A GCSE option you wish you'd chosen

We all have one, don't we? Choosing GCSEs is quite manic and we're so young when we do.

For me I wish I'd taken Music or Drama, or carried on French which I dropped at the end of Year 10 as it was a twilight class and it was making me tired.

Anyone have any regrets on GCSE choices?

Hmm, that gets me thinking, my school didn't do Psychology at GCSE but did at A-level.

Is it still a GCSE? Sociology used to be and my school didn't offer that - I would've taken Sociology at GCSE because I'm sure it would've been pretty soft...

I definitely wish I'd taken History but people were like "It's too hard" , "My brother said there's too many dates to remember" ect. etc.

TSR is the only place where students reminisce about GCSE's they want to take.

Oh well, Travel and Tourism + Economics.

If you could do astophysics at GCSE, astrophysics.

Of the ones they actually offered, design tech or something it was called at my school, essentially wood work/construction type stuff.

Wish I didn't have to take English literature, though, I did fall asleep in class a lot so its kinda a bonus

Would have preferred to have taken electronics in its place

My Options were ICT, History and Business Studies.

Wish i could have not taken humanities as it was such a nothing subject and taken french. I had it as my third choice but didn't get it so did business instead.
