I'm in Year 10, I picked French and Spanish. I loved both last year but this year Spanish is really hard, very heavy workload, big regret. French is usual pace and it's ok, quite enjoying it. I'm doing history and it's OK, not too hard and there's lots of info to help and we get to go on trips. My friends doing geography are not happy, they say it's very boring, they picked it as they wanted to learn countries but it's all glaciers and oceans. Also be careful with picking computing, it's not what we expected, it's very mathematical. I switched to do what you call design technology, we call it creative I-media. It's much more fun, we build websites and animate on the computer and the exams are spread out, with our first this January. One friend is doing RS and says it's quite easy and interesting. My least enjoyable is Art. It's very slow and we are very limited in what we can do and it's no fun at all. Good luck in choosing. It stressed me out for months.
