Do you regret any of your GCSE options?

Scroll to see replies

I'm in year eleven, and pretty much everyone I know regrets at least one of their subjects if not all. So, I'm just curious to know if any of you do/did. :smile:

Regret taking computing instead of triple.

in year 13 now, but the only thing i really regretted was not doing triple science even though not taking it wasn't really up to me, i wanted to and they cancelled it because not enough people wanted to the course so i chose psychology instead

Your welcome :redface:

Aw bless yeah I know right, worst thing was the school I was at timetabled me in for double ICT as well as the single lessons, and the double lessons dragged on soooo much :frown:

! I ended up getting a C for the ICT coursework, and I'm assuming I got a C on the exam as well as I got a C overall :redface:

Aw bless, from what I could remember from the child development exam, there were the standard questions then an essay question, but idk if it would be the same as the other exam boards for the set up of the exam :redface:

ah sure you'll be fine :smile:

when I sat my GCSEs, there were days where there were two exams in one day, which was draining but got through them ok :redface:

thank you so much for your advice. lets hope everything goes ok haha x thanks again :smile:

ICT

ICT was so time consuming and pointless, thousands of words for coursework. Only thing it has helped me with is excel spreadsheets. The exam was the easiest thing I ever did along with business so I got an A* but it was still a waste of time.

I know right :/ got a C overall and got a C on my coursework, which was just long and draining. I honestly didn't revise much for it and the exam was probably one of the easiest I've ever done. I also did business and communication systems as a GCSE as it was compulsory for my year, the practical and the written was so easy, and the coursework I did was about the work experience I did in year 10 and I think I got a C on that. But I got a C overall though :tongue:

OCR Computing GCSE.
Coursework was bad, teacher was worse and the exam was the perfect cherry on top of this sh*t ice cream. Wish I took ICT instead.

1) Don´t bother with triple science unless you actually want to continue science further. Core and applied science was so much easier.

2) Do what you want to do and not what you think is a prestigous subject to do. No one really cares about your GCSE subjects when you are older.
