I've just started year 11 and want to drop GCSE art. I can't deal with the coursework, it has stressed me out since the beginning of year 10 and made my other grades suffer. I've had to sacrifice getting A's and A*'s in other subjects. I also get so stressed out and panicked that it makes me feel physically ill.
I currently do 11 GCSES. I feel that Art is affecting my overall performance. If I dropped it I'm certain that I'd be able to get 10 GCSES all A*-A. I'm also aware of another girl in my year that dropped a different subject at the end of year 10, so I'm quite sure that if I put my case forward my school will let me drop. However, I don't know what to do! Help?
