No science? I thought it's compulsory.

You may need sciences depending on what you would like to do at A Level, however you could do double sciences/combined sciences instead if you're worried about the workload.

Actually, our school never made science mandatory ( I stay in India) hence, i didn't take the subject. But i think I might. Is it necessary to take all three?

You can do double science which includes a Core Science and an Additional Science GCSE. That's what the majority of people in the UK do.
Double science is fine, although triple is slightly higher regarded, but it shouldn't be an issue.
Oh ok thank you!
