Oh hi! I'm karmacrunch, also in Year 9! How are you? Nice choices, I'm taking geography too! What are you thinking of doing when you are older?
I'm taking, along with my compulsory subjects-
Geography German RS Textiles Language Leaders
Hopefully I'll get to do Ad Maths as well!
We have our Year 9 thread also to chat so feel free to do so!
Really? I heard that Business GCSE is really boring, which is why I'm kind of dreading it. I love the subject itself though, so I do hope it is fun! I've just finished Year 9 and we have been doing Business, but not the GCSE yet - that's for the next academic year.
Will it really depends! If you have a creative brain you'll probably like Business and ff you've got a sciency brain then you can adjust with many other analytical/logically thinking subjects. Many say its boring, but nevertheless many say its really fun as well! Search for the positives haha

Hi!
I'm a Year 10 soon too! Dreading the exams, though. Thanks! Bs are good too.

Good luck with them, I'm sure you'll do just fine! Religion is compulsory for my school, but I don't think it's such a bad subject... Computer Science sounds interesting!
Thank you! Good luck in yours too I'm not too sure about Religion since it might change for us (some people might not do it) but I guess I'll find out next year
Well, it depends on how many GCSEs are being done and whether your school is linear or whether you have previously done exam sin year 10. So generally, most people going into Year 11 would have about:
Maths: 2 exams Eng Lang: 1 exam Eng Lit: 2 exams Double/triple science: 4-9 exams RS (in some schools): 2 exams
Then generally their option subjects: Four of the next few: History: 2 exams Geography: 2 exams Sociology: 2-3 exams Psychology: 2 exams Media Studies: 1 exam ICT: 1 exam Other option subject etc
Just say combined the options consist of 7/8 exams, along with about 10 core exams, possibly 18? It'd be best to create a poll to see.
It varies a lot. For me, I found all the language subjects much harder ( spanish and literature) I found with the sciences and geography it was just a memory test and you just have to recall the information. Out of all the subjects, i spent most time on Geography and Biology because they are just about memorizing information!!

Okay, I've heard too that Geography and Biology require lots of memorization. I don't find languages very hard at all, but I struggle on tests without doing revision beforehand. I also think that Maths requires a reasonable amount of revision.

It depends how many subjects you do and how exam heavy they are. Most people at my school do 20-something exams in Year 11, I think. I've just finished Year 10 and will be doing 13 GCSEs next year - so I'll have 31 exams in May/June.

Maths is a weird one. You just need to pick a topic and do loads of questions on that topic then you will be fine. With maths it just randomly 'clicks' after practice. I got an E in a mock exam in year 9 then I got an A when I took it early in year 11 Just practice!
I'm going into yr 11 but I did 6 GCSE exams a couple of months ago. I've done: Maths, English Language, Geography, ICT, RE and Music. Next summer I will be doing: Astronomy, English Literature, FSMQ (not really a GCSE or an A level..) and triple science.
