Um, what does that have to do with that?


before when I didn't go on tsr i didn't know about 'respected' and not very respected subjects i just thought the ocr national gave you a lot of GCSEs for not much effort. same as your friends i'm guessing.

I'd rather have a few more to be slightly above average :frown: but my school don't offer it.

11 I think would be perfect!

I get the feeling the 15 I'll get excluding vocational qualifications (Work Skills :mad2:) might be a bit much :tongue:

I think I'm doing one more than most thanks to German, otherwise it's a careful mix of finding enjoyment in certain subjects (Maths, Latin, etc.) and procrastination :biggrin:

I chose German(Y7 Options),Geography,Double Business and 1 extra GCSE in ICT(the other GCSE is compulsory).The rest are compulsory.
WHAT!? you could choose options in year 7?!! You school is definitely not a state school

actually it is a state school and you got to choose one subject out of four(Technology, Performing Arts,Art and German),in Y7, for completion in Y9.
Ohh well we didn't have that.. we only got a BTEC in year 9 (i did business and got a distinction*)
