I'm not sure whether to take combined science or triple science as I am homeschooling. I'm not very good at chemistry but i'm alright at bio and physics. I don't intend to go into anything science or medical related. I wanted some advice in regards to whether there was much difference in difficulty. Or is there a lot of advantage in taking triple science as it counts as one more gcse.

As your not interested in a science career, only having bio and physics shouldn't hold you back at all.

you can get a nine in both. if youre talking about the lower paper, you cant get higher than a 5. but that lower paper is still triple science

Hey I’ve been homeschooled and have done combined science. The content in combined science is less than in triple science. Also if you aren’t thinking of going on to study science at A-levels than you might as well take combined science...

Combined science would be better for you if you dont have a great ability in a certain subject like I'm bad at biology but my chemistry and physics marks will balance that out and get a good mark so a 7-7 looks better than 577. I took combined and there isnt an advantage in take triple unless you want one more qualification, which is great for private students that need to pay for their exams and qualification but there's not much that 1 grade can be beneficial for tbh. There's not a lot of difference in combined and triple detail wise but I know that space in physics wasnt taught in combined but I wouldnt have needed to learn it if it wasnt a optional module for A level, my school picked due to that being their speciality.

Thank you to all the people who gave great advice. I think it does make more sense to take combined science. It was good to get advice tho.
