so im in yr 9 and have already chosen my options which were
German ( already started)
Engineering--start next year
Electronics--start next year
so i was sat in ict today and the current Yr11s were asking us what options we have chose and when i said Electronics they said its awful theres loads of coursework and you have to stay behind loads at school and then when i mentioned im taking engineering too, they said i will have to stay behind at school everyday and wont be able to go out at weekends because of all the work.
Im also taking triple science which i started in september.
so the question is how much work will it take?, will i really be staying behind to finish corsework?

Electronics (AQA) isn't too bad, as long as you follow the structure and don't waffle too much, you shouldn't really need to stay (at least, I didn't need to anyway
)You definitely will have some free time though, I think they're just exaggerating a bit

Engineering (if you're on Edexcel) is terrible for coursework, I found myself having to stay quite a few times in order to sort out my work before the deadline, but maybe that was because I didn't get that much help for my teacher. You can take in notes to your exam, so that kind of balances it out

I got an A* on my coursework for Electronics and my teacher doesn't want to tell us our Engineering grades for some reason (my previous draft got an A though
)

I've done them both this year, so hopefully I'll be able to get back to you with some good news!

I came up with the plan and circuit, I think you lost a few marks if the teacher has to help you.
