I'd have thought so. Humanities are always good, and economics must be useful as well. How come PE and RS are compulsory for GCSE though?!! Gosh, can't imagine anything worse than GCSE PE...:frown:

I'm not doing GCSE P.E, and I'm doing my GCSEs... It's not compulsory for all schools then. Same with the R.E, at least in mine. :smile:

My school is a sports college so you have to do pe or dance. And it is also slightly religious so everyone does RS
Thanks for the help.

I think they sound good - I do German, History and Geography too, and love them, don't know about Business and Economics but it sounds interesting :wink:
They are good GCSE's, I did German, History and Geography too - you'll love them :smile:
They are good :smile:
I did History 2 years ago at GCSE and it was very enjoyable as I remember! I managed to get an A grade out of it after constantly getting Ds & Es in test papers so that was quite the change! If you ever need any help with English or History I can help.

Yep they seem fine, you might wanna swap geog/history for a techy subject to widen your skill set but that is just personal preference :smile:
